Answer: (c) 3:20 p.m.
Given,
- Total Distance = 225 km
- Starting Time = 10:20 a.m.
- Distance covered = 90 km
- Time taken = 2 hours
To find,
- Time at which the village would be reached.
Solution:
Let's calculate the speed of the bus by taking the initial distance and time into consideration.
→ Speed = Distance Covered / Time Taken
→ Speed = 90 km / 2 hr
→ Speed = 45 km/hr
Time after covering 90 km = 10:20 a.m + 2 hrs = 12:20 p.m.
Remaining Distance for reaching the village is:
→ 225 km - 90 km = 135 km
Time taken for covering the distance = Distance / Speed
→ Time = 135 km / 45 km/hr
→ Time = 3 hrs
Hence the ending time while reaching the village would be:
→ 12:20 p.m. + 3 hrs = 3:20 p.m.
Hence the bus would reach the village by 3:20 p.m.
Hence Option (C) is the correct answer.
