A) 6 hrs 24 min
B) 6 hrs
C) 7 hrs 21 min
D) 6 hrs 28 min

Answer 1

Sol: Distance = 600 km Speed = 100 km/hr Time taken = Distance / Speed = 600 / 100 = 6 Hr Number of stops for 600 km = (600 / 75) - 1 = 7 Time of stopping after every 75 km = 3 min Total time of stoppings = 3 x 7 = 21 min Time taken to reach the destination = 6 hrs 21 min.

Answer 2

Option d is the correct answer
