Speed in m/sec = ( 5 / 18 ) x Speed in kms/hr.
92.4 kms/hr = 92.4 x (5 / 18) m/sec.
∴ Req. distance = 92.4 x ( 5 / 18 ) x 600 metersCorrect Option: B
Speed in m/sec = ( 5 / 18 ) x Speed in kms/hr.
92.4 kms/hr = 92.4 x (5 / 18) m/sec.
∴ Req. distance = 92.4 x ( 5 / 18 ) x 600 meters
= 15400 m.

Speed = 600 / (5 x 60) m/sec.
Correct Option: A
Speed = 600 / (5 x 60) m/sec.
= 600 / (5 x 60) x 18/5 km/hr.
= 7.2 km/hr.

Average Speed = Total distance / time
= 2d / [( d / 16) + ( d / 9)]Correct Option: C
Average Speed = Total distance / time
= 2d / [( d / 16) + ( d / 9)]
= ( 2 x 16 x 9 ) / ( 16 + 9 ).
= 11.52 km/hr.
Shortcut :
Average speed = 2uv / (u + v)
= ( 2 x 16 x 9 ) / ( 16 + 9 )
= 11.52
