Question

out of 555 km total journey, a bus travelled some distance with average speed 60 km/hr. Then speed is increased by 15 km/hr to complete the remaining journey. It takes 8 hrs to complete the total journey.find the distance and time that the bus travelled by average speed 60 km/hr.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x km distance covered with speed 60 km/h

and (555 - x) km distance with speed (60 + 15) = 75 km/h

Total time taken to complete journey = 8 hrs

∵ time = distance/speed

∴ total time taken to complete journey = time taken to cover distance x km with speed 60 km/h + time taken to cover distance (555 - x) km with speed 75 km/h

⇒ 8 = x/60 + (555 - x)/75

⇒ 8 = (5x + 4 × 555 - 4x )/300

⇒ 8 = (x + 2220)/300

⇒ 8 × 300 = x + 2220

⇒ 2400 - 2220 = x

⇒ x = 180 km

Hence , distance covered by speed = 180 km
