    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

    Correct 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 = 10.2 / 3 km/hr.
    = 3.4 km/hr.

    Distance covered in 5 hours = 3.4 X 5 km.

    Correct Option: D

    Speed = 10.2 / 3 km/hr.
    = 3.4 km/hr.

    Distance covered in 5 hours = 3.4 X 5 km.
    = 17 km

    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
