Answer 1

Answer:

truck

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\implies$ Truck is travelling faster with speed 210km/hr than the car with speed 62.5 km/hr.

Explanation:

We are given that

• A car covers 500 Km in 8 hours
• A truck covers 1050 Km in 5 hours
• We are given with the distance covered and the time taken by each vehicle.
• We are supposed to find out the speed of each vehicle to know about the faster vehicle

The required formula here is:-

speed = $\huge\frac{distance}{time}$

Case 1 (car)

Distance given, d = 500km

Time taken, t = 8 hrs

$\therefore$ speed = $\huge\frac{500}{8} = 62.5$ km/hr

Case 2 (truck)

Distance given, d = 1050 km

Time taken, t = 5 hrs

$\therefore$ speed = $\huge\frac{1050}{5} = 120$ km/hr

$\therefore$ speed of truck > speed of car

Hence, Truck is faster than car.
