  • Question
  • The ratio of the speeds of a car, a jeeps and a tractor is 3 : 5 : 2. The speed of the jeep is 250 per cent of the speed of the tractor and tractor covers 360 km in 12 hours. What is the average speed of car and jeep together?


  • Options
  • A. 50 kmph
  • B. 60 kmph
  • C. 70 kmph
  • D. 80 kmph

  • Correct Answer
  • 60 kmph 

    Explanation

    Speed of tractor = 360/12 = 30 kmph

    Speed of jeep = 250 x 30/100 = 75 kmph

    But, given ratio of speed of car, jeep and tractor is 3 : 5 : 2

    Speed of car = 3 x 75/5 = 45 kmph

     

    Required, average speed of car and jeep = 75 + 45/2 = 60 kmph.
