Question
In a journey of 24 miles, two thirds of the distance was travelled with a speed of 40 mph and the remaining with 60 mph. How much time did the journey take?
Answer: Option D
(2/3)*24=16 MILES TIME TAKEN TO COVER THE FIRST 16 MILES
= (16/40) HOURS
= 24 MINUTES TIME TAKEN TO COVER THE NEXT 8 MILES
= (8/60) HOURS
= 8 MINUTES TIME TAKEN FOR THE ENTIRE JOURNEY
= 32 MINUTES
