Question

If a person travel \(10\frac{1}{5}\) Km in 3h, then the distance covered by him in 5 h will be :

• A. 17 km
• B. 22 km
• C. 20 km
• D. 30 km

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To find the distance covered in 5 hours, we first determine the distance covered per hour. The person travels \(10\frac{1}{5}\) Km in 3 hours, which is equivalent to \( \frac{51}{5} \) Km.
Calculate the rate per hour:
\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\frac{51}{5} \text{ Km}}{3 \text{ h}} = \frac{51}{5} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{51}{15} = \frac{17}{5} \text{ Km/h} \]
Now, calculate the distance for 5 hours:
\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} = \frac{17}{5} \text{ Km/h} \times 5 \text{ h} = 17 \text{ Km} \]
Therefore, the distance covered in 5 hours is 17 km.
