Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Speed of the car= 180 km h^–1= 50 m/sec

Time taken by car to reach from station A to station B = 10 hours

The distance travelled by person in a car L’= speed X time= 180 x 10= 1800km

So, the rest distance between the two station is 25nm more than 1800km.

(b) time taken by car to cover the distance in the road= distance/ speed
