Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Average speed of tractor $ =\frac{575}{23}km/h $

$ \therefore $ Speed of bus $ =2\times \frac{575}{23} $

$ \therefore $ Average speed of car $ =\frac{9}{5}\times \frac{2\times 575}{23}=90km/h $

$ \Rightarrow $ Distance covered in $ 4h=90\times 4=360km $
