Question

Bus X travels a distance of 450 km in 5 hours whereas bus Y travels a distance of 567 km in 7 hours. Which bus is faster and why?

Answer 1

Provided that:

• There are bus X and Y.

• Bus X travels a distance of 450 km in 5 hours. Let us consider it as case first.

• Bus Y travels a distance of 567 km in 7 hours. Let us consider it as case second.

To determine:

• Which bus is faster and why!?

Using concept:

• Formula to calculate velocity.

Using formula:

• ${\small{\underline{\boxed{\pmb{\sf{Velocity \: = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}}}}}}}$

Required solution:

~ Firstly let us calculate velocity in case first by using suitable formula!

→ Velocity = Distance/Time

→ Velocity = 450/5

→ Velocity = 90 kmph

~ Now let us find out the velocity in case second by using suitable formula!

→ Velocity = Distance/Time

→ Velocity = 567/7

→ Velocity = 81 kmph

~ Now let us carry on!

→ Car X is faster as compared to car Y. Because its velocity is more as compared to car Y.
