Correct Answer: $74 \frac{11}{12}$
Solution :
Given:
A part of a journey is covered in 37.5 minutes at 90 km/h and the remaining part in 14 minutes at 80 km/h.
We know, Distance = Speed × Time
So, first part he covered = $\frac{90}{60}×37.5=\frac{225}{4}$ km
And, last part he covered = $\frac{80}{60}×14=\frac{56}{3}$ km
Total distance covered = $\frac{225}{4}+\frac{56}{3}=\frac{899}{12}$
= $74 \frac{11}{12}$ km.
So, the total distance of the journey is $74 \frac{11}{12}$ km.
Hence, the correct answer is $74 \frac{11}{12}$.
