2. 32 km/hr.
Problems on Time and Distance:
1. A car travelling with 2/3 of its actual speed covers 48 km in 2 hours and 40 minutes. Find the actual speed of the car.
Solution:
Let the actual speed be x.
Time = 2 * 40/60 = 2(2/3)= 8/3 hours.
2/3*[x] *8/3 = 48.
By solving the above equation, we get
x = 27 km/hr.
2. A man can reach a certain place in 10 hours. If he reduces his speed by 1/5th, he goes 16 km/hr less in that time. Find his speed.
Solution:
Let his speed be x.
10x-10*4x/5 = 16.
By solving the above equation, we get
x = 8 km/hr.
