Q23. A car moving at a speed of 50 kmph takes 3 hours to cover a certain distance. If the speed is increased to 75 kmph, how much time will it take to cover the same distance?

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Calculate the distance:
    Distance = Speed × Time = 50kmph×3hours=150km50 \, \text{kmph} \times 3 \, \text{hours} = 150 \, \text{km}

  2. Calculate the time at the new speed:
    Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 150km÷75kmph=2hours150 \, \text{km} ÷ 75 \, \text{kmph} = 2 \, \text{hours}

So, the correct answer is:

  • Option (C) 2 hours
