Required Average distance covered by all the trucks = Total distance covered by all the trucks Total number of the trucks
Correct Option: D
Given in the bar graph :-
Distance traveled by Trucks A = 475 , B = 350, C = 550, D = 425, E = 575,
Total distance covered by all the trucks = 475 + 350 + 550 + 425 + 575 = 2375 Km
Total number of the trucks = 5Required Average distance covered by all the trucks = Total distance covered by all the trucks Total number of the trucks Required Average distance covered by all the trucks = 2375 = 475 5
- The distance travelled by Truck E is approximately what percent of the total distance travelled by Track B and C together?
-

Required percentage = Total distance covered by E x 100 % Total distance covered by B and C together
Correct Option: D
As per given graph , we can see that
Total distance covered by E = 575 Km , Total distance covered by B and C together = 350 + 550 = 900 KmRequired percentage = Total distance covered by E x 100 % Total distance covered by B and C together = 575 x 100 ≈ 64% ≈ 62 % 900
- What is the ratio of the distance traveled by Truck A to the distance traveled by Truck D?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Required ratio = The distance traveled by Truck A : The distance traveled by Truck D
Correct Option: C
As per given above graph , we have
The distance traveled by Truck A = 475
The distance traveled by Truck Truck D = 425
Required ratio = The distance traveled by Truck A : The distance traveled by Truck D
Required ratio = 475 : 425 = 19 : 17
- If the time taken by Truck C to cover the given distance was 8 hours, what was the average speed of the truck?
-

Required average speed = Total distance traveled by truck C Total time taken by truck C
Correct Option: D
Given :- Total distance traveled by truck C = 550
Time taken by truck C = 8 hoursRequired average speed = Total distance traveled by truck C Total time taken by truck C Required average speed = 550 = 68.75 Km/h 8
- If Truck A covered the given distance at the average speed of 47.5 Km/h, what was the time taken by it to cover this distance?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Required Time taken = Total distance covered by A Average speed
Correct Option: B
As per given graphs and question,
Total distance covered by A = 475 Km
Average Speed = 47.5 Km/hRequired Time taken = Total distance covered by A Average speed Required Time taken = 475 = 10 hours 47.5
