Question

A bus travels at 100kmph. When there are 3 passengers the speed is reduced to 88kmph. If the speed of the bus is inversely proportional to the no of passengers travelling. Find the speed of the bus when 6 passengers are travelling ?

Answer 1

Dear Students,

◆ Answer -

44 kmph

◆ Explanation -

Given that the speed of the bus is inversely proportional to the no of passengers travelling.

For 3 passengers,

Speed ∝ 1/passengers

88 = k/3

k = 264

For 6 passengers,

Speed ∝ 1/passengers

v = k/6

v = 264/6

v = 44 kmph

Therefore, speed of the bus will be 44 kmph when 6 passengers are there.

Thanks dear...
