    A car travelling with \[\frac{5}{7}\text{th}\] of its usual speed coves 42 km in 1 h 40 min 48 s. What is the usual speed of the car?

    A) \[17\frac{6}{7}\,\,\text{km/h}\]

    B)  \[35\,\,\text{km/h}\]

    C)  \[25\text{ km/h}\]

    D)  \[30\,\,\text{km/h}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    1 h 40 min 48 s = 1 h \[\left( 40+\frac{48}{60} \right)\]min = 1 h \[\left( 40+\frac{4}{5} \right)\]min \[=1\,\,\text{h}\frac{204}{5}\]min \[=\left( 1+\frac{204}{300} \right)\,\,\text{h=}\frac{504}{300}\text{h}\] \[\therefore \]      Speed \[=\frac{42}{\frac{504}{300}}=25\,\,\text{km/h}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{5}{7}\times \]Usual speed = 25 \[\therefore \]      Usual speed \[=\frac{25\times 7}{5}=35\,\,\text{km/h}\]
