Question : Aman decided to cover a distance of 12 km in 78 minutes. He decided to cover the initial two-thirds of the distance at 10 km/hr and the remaining at some different speed. Find the speed for the last one-third of the distance.

Option 1: 7.8 km/hr

Option 2: 8 km/hr

Option 3: 8.4 km/hr

Option 4: 9 km/hr

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024
