Aryan has to reach Ahmedabad which is 889 km away in 17 hours. His starting speed for 5 hours was 29 km/hr. For the next 96 km his speed was 24 km/hr. By what speed he must travel now so as to reach Ahmedabad in decided time of 17 hours?
81 km/hr
Total distance = 889 km. Total time = 17 hours. Distance covered in 5 hours = 5 × 29 = 145 km. Time taken to cover 96 km at 24 km/hr = 96 / 24 = 4 hours. Remaining time = 17 - 5 - 4 = 8 hours. Remaining distance = 889 - 145 - 96 = 648 km. Speed required = 648 / 8 = 81 km/hr.
