A. 5 hours
B. 4 hours
C. 5 hours 20 minute
D. 4 hours 20 minute
Answer: Option A
Solution (By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Average speed}} = \frac{{2 \times 90 \times 126}}{{216}} \cr & = \frac{{2 \times 5 \times 126}}{{12}} \cr & = 105{\text{ km/h}} \cr & {\text{Time}} = \frac{{525}}{{105}} = 5{\text{ hours}} \cr} $$This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Speed Time And Distance
