A man covered a distance of 12 km in 90 min by cycle. How much distance will he cover in 3 h, if he rides the cycle at a uniform speed?

A) 36 km
B) 24 km
C) 30 km
D) 27 km

Correct Answer:


B) 24 km

Description for Correct answer:
We know that. speed = \( \Large \frac{Distance}{Time} \)

= \( \Large \frac{12}{90} = \frac{12 \times 60}{90}=8 km/h \)

Therefore, Distance covered in 3 h = \( \Large Speed \times Time = 8 \times 3 = 24 km \)
