jakeqs · Answer

(600 m)/ ((90 km/hr)(1 hr / 3600 seconds)(1000 m / 1 km)) =24

KS15 · Answer

90000 meters>60 minutes
Required time=(600/90000)*60*60=24 S. Asnwer B

PareshGmat · Answer

Answer = B. 24

Speed of truck in m/s  = \frac{90 * 10^3}{60*60}

Time taken to travel  = \frac{600}{90*10^3} * 60*60 = 24 seconds

Hello, To solve this question convert Km/hr into M/hr and from thereon solve for Meters/Min & Meters/Sec. Speed = 90 Km/hr => 90,000 m/hr In one minute => 90000/60 = 1500 meters In one sec => 1500/60 = 25 meters Time = Total distance need to be covered / Avg. speed => 600/ 25 =24 and hence the Ans.

rhine29388 · Answer

just multiply the speed by a fraction of 5/18 to get speed in metres per second.divide the total distance to be covered by the speed calculated and you have your answer.
90*5/18=25metre per second
600/25=24 seconds

answer- B

rajdeep212003 · Answer

The problem asks how many seconds it takes for a truck traveling at a constant speed of 90 kilometers per hour to cover a distance of 600 meters. First, convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second: 90 km/h is 90,000 meters per hour, and since there are 3,600 seconds in an hour, divide 90,000 by 3,600 to get 25 meters per second. Now, use the formula time = distance ÷ speed. The distance to cover is 600 meters, and the speed is 25 meters per second, so time = 600 ÷ 25 = 24 seconds. Therefore, the answer is 24 seconds, which matches option B in the choices shown on the screen.
