To reach point B from point A, at 4 pm, Sara will have to travel at an average speed of 1 8 km/h. She will reach point B at 3 pm, if she travels at an average speed of 24 km/h. At what average speed should Sara travel to reach Point B at 2 pm?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let the distance between A and B = d km
According to question,
\( \large \frac{d}{18} - \frac{d}{24} = 1 \)
\( \large \frac{4d - 3d}{72} = 1 \)
d=72km
Time taken by Sara with the speed of 18 km/h
=\( \large \frac{72}{18} = 4hr \)
Required speed = \( \large \frac{72}{4 - 2} = \frac{72}{2} = 36km/hr \)
