Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven
Time = 5 hours
Speed = 50 km/hr
Formula used
Speed = Distance/Time
Calculation
Distance = 50 × 5 = 250 km
In the second lag:
Distance = 250 + 250 × 120/100 = 300 km
Speed = 50 + 50 × 120/100 = 60 km/hr
Time = 300/60 = 5 hours
In the third lag:
Distance = 300 + 300 × 110/100 = 330 km
Speed = (60 + 50)/2 = 55 km/hr
Time = 330/55 = 6 hours
Total time = 5 + 5 + 6 = 16 hours
The answer is 16 hours.
