Distance = 20 kms
Time = 2 hours∴ Speed = Distance Time = 20 = 10 km per hr. 2
Now, we have, Speed = 10 km per hr.Time = 11 hr. 2
∴ Distance = Speed × Time= 10 × 11 = 55 km 2 Correct Option: C
Distance = 20 kms
Time = 2 hours∴ Speed = Distance Time = 20 = 10 km per hr. 2
Now, we have, Speed = 10 km per hr.Time = 11 hr. 2
∴ Distance = Speed × Time= 10 × 11 = 55 km 2

Time taken to reach office= 15minutes = 15 = 1 hr. 60 4
∴ Distance between his house and office
= Speed × Time= 20 × 1 = 5 km. 4 Correct Option: D

∴ Time required to cover 30 kms
at the speed of 8 km/hr.= Distance = 30 = 15 hours Speed 8 4 = 3 3 hours 4 Correct Option: A
Speed = 6 km/hr

Case I.
Distance = 10 kms
Speed = 4 km/hr.∴ Time taken (t2) = 21 = 7 hrs. 6 2 Total time taken = 5 + 7 2 2 = 5 + 7 = 6 hrs. 2
Total distance covered
= 10 + 21 = 31 kms∴ Average Speed = Total distance Total time = 31 km per hr. 6 = 5 1 km per hr. 6 Correct Option: B
