• 1] 6.4 km/hr
• 2] 6.67 km/hr
• 3] 10 km/hr
• 4] 15 km/hr

The speed \(3\frac{1}{3}\) m/sec when expressed in km/hr becomes :

• 1] 8 km/hr
• 2] 9 km/hr
• 3] 10 km/hr
• 4] 12 km/hr

Walking at the rate of 4 km an hour, a man cover a certain distance in 3 hours 45 minutes. If he covers the same distance on cycle, cycling at the rate of 16.5 km/hour, the time taken by him is :

• 1] 55.45 minutes

A boy is running at a speed of p kmph to cover a distance of 1 km. But, due to the slippery ground, his speed is reduced by q kmph (p > q). If he takes r hours to cover the distance, then:

• 1]

  \(\frac{1}{r} = p - q\)

• 2]

  r = p - q

• 3]

  \(\frac{1}{r} = p + q\)

• 4]

  r = p + r
