An aeroplane covers a certain distance at a speed of 240 kmph in 5 hours. To cover the same distance in 1⅔ hours, it must travel at a speed of:

Correct Answer: 720 kmph

Explanation:

Distance = (240 x 5) = 1200 km.


Speed = Distance/Time


Speed = 1200/(5/3) km/hr.     [We can write 1⅔ hours as 5/3 hours]



∴ Required speed = 1200 x 3 ❩km/hr = 720 km/hr.
