Answer 2

Step by Step explanation:

Given: Distance $= 175 km$, and Speed $= 70 km/hr$. The person starts at $9:00 AM.$

To find: Time taken by X to reach the destination.

For calculation of time,

We are given that $D=175 km$ and $S=70 km$$/hr$.

We know that $Time= \frac{D}{S}$

Thus,

⇒ $Time = \frac{175}{70}$

⇒ $T=2.5$

We know that $2.5 = 2$ hours and $30$ minutes.

∴ Time is taken by the person to reach the destination,

⇒ $9:00 + 2$ $.5$ hours

⇒ $11:30$ AM.

The person is likely to reach the destination at $11:30$ AM.
