Quantitative Aptitude(IBPS CL) Case Studies

Direction: Study the given data carefully and answer the following question.

There are 3 cars A, B and C. They can travel some distance with different speed.

Car A: It travels some distance which is 33 1/3 more than the distance travelled by Car B.

Car B: It travels at speed of 50 km/hr for 7 1/2 hours.

Car C: It goes a distance of 400 km at 20% less speed than Car B.

If the Car A takes 8 hours to travel the distance, then find the speed of Car A.

70 Km/hr

65 Km/hr

67.5 Km/hr

62.5 Km/hr

57.5 Km/hr

- Car B travels at a speed of 50 km/hr for 7.5 hours. This means it covers a distance of:

50 \text{ km/hr} \times 7.5 \text{ hours} = 375 \text{ km}

- Car A travels 33 1/3% more distance than Car B. Therefore, it travels:

375 \text{ km} + \left(\frac{33.33}{100} \times 375 \right) = 500 \text{ km}

- Car A takes 8 hours to travel 500 km. Thus, its speed is:

\frac{500 \text{ km}}{8 \text{ hours}} = 62.5 \text{ km/hr}

- Car C travels 400 km at 20% less speed than Car B, thus at 40 km/hr.

- To find Car A's speed, we use the above calculations.

- Correct Answer: Option 4: 62.5 km/hr
