Question

A bus covers a distance of 150 km at a speed of 16.67 m/s. If the bus has to cover 120 km in the same time, find the distance traveled by bus (in meter) per minute.800 m60 m48 m1000 m

Solution

First, let's convert the speed from m/s to km/h. We know that 1 m/s is equal to 3.6 km/h. So, 16.67 m/s is equal to 16.67 * 3.6 = 60 km/h.

Now, let's find out how long it takes for the bus to cover 150 km at a speed of 60 km/h. We can use the formula time = distance/speed. So, the time taken is 150/60 = 2.5 hours.

The question states that the bus has to cover 120 km in the same time. So, the time taken to cover 120 km is also 2.5 hours.

Now, we need to find out the distance traveled by the bus per minute. We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. So, 2.5 hours is equal to 2.5 * 60 = 150 minutes.

The distance covered in 150 minutes is 120 km. So, the distance covered per minute is 120/150 = 0.8 km.

Finally, we need to convert this distance from km to meters. We know that 1 km is equal to 1000 meters. So, 0.8 km is equal to 0.8 * 1000 = 800 meters.

So, the distance traveled by the bus per minute is 800 meters.
