I didn't get the vario part how did you put speed/time = time?

It is NOT Speed/time = time

It is Distance/ time = Distance/ time

LHS : Distance \(= 25 *10^7 \), Time \( = 36\)
RHS : Distance \(30\) cms , time \(= t\)

If we solve , we will get \( t \).

Hope it helps.

250,000 km/hr=250,000/3600 km/sec
and 30 cm= 30 *10^-5 km
so seconds required to travel 30 cms= [30*10^-5 *3600] / 250,000
=108 /25 *10^-6=4.3*10^-6

How did the question make 4.32 * 10^-6 as 4.3*10^-6, I understand its a very small difference, but in actual exam if this is the case, will the question mention something like "approximate?

I am asking because wasted 30 seconds or so rechecking everything

Hi,

Kindly notice it is \(10^{-7}\) , so this is not approximation.

\(\frac{43.2}{10^7} = \frac{4.32}{10^6}\)

Hope this will make things a little clearer. Thanks.
