Question Detail
A person crosses a 600 meter long street in 5 minutes. What is the speed in Km/hr
- 6.2 km/hr
- 7.2 km/hr
- 8.2 km/hr
- 9.2 km/hr
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Two things to give attention on this question.
First time is in minutes, we need to change it to seconds to get speed in m/sec, then we need to get the final answer in km/hr.
So lets solve this.
\begin{aligned}
Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\
Distance = 650 meter \\
Time = \text{5 minutes} = 300 sec \\
Speed = \frac{600}{300} = 2 m/sec \\
=> 2*\frac{18}{5} km/hr = 7.2 km/hr
\end{aligned}
