A car covers a distance at a speed of 240 km/hr in 5 hours. To cover the samedistance in 5/3 hours it must travel at what speed?a) 100 m/sb) 10 km/minc) 200 m/s

Solution

First, let's calculate the total distance covered by the car.

Distance = Speed * Time Distance = 240 km/hr * 5 hr = 1200 km

Now, we need to find the speed required to cover the same distance in 5/3 hours.

Speed = Distance / Time Speed = 1200 km / (5/3) hr = 720 km/hr

Now, let's convert this speed into the units provided in the options:

a) To convert km/hr into m/s, we multiply by 5/18. So, 720 km/hr = 720 * (5/18) m/s = 200 m/s

b) To convert km/hr into km/min, we divide by 60. So, 720 km/hr = 720 / 60 km/min = 12 km/min

Therefore, to cover the same distance in 5/3 hours, the car must travel at a speed of 200 m/s or 12 km/min. So, the correct answer is option c) 200 m/s.
