q: Avinash covers a distance of 8km in 50 minutes. If he covers 3km distance in 2/5th of time then, What speed should he maintain to cover the remaining distance in the remaining time?
Options:
(A) 20 Kmph
(B) 15 Kmph
(C) 30 Kmph
(D) 32 Kmph

a: Stream of consciousness: Total distance = 8 Km
Total time = 50 Km
Time taken to cover the distence of 3 Km = 50*2/5 = 20 min = 1/3 hours
Remaining distance = 8 - 3 = 5 Km
Required speed = 5/1/3 = 15 Kmph The answer is (B).
