Question : A runner runs a 750-metre race in 54 seconds. Find the runner’s speed (in km/hr).
Option 1: 40
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 14
Option 4: 50
Correct Answer: 50
Solution : Given: A runner runs a 750-metre race in 54 seconds. $\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ The runner’s speed = $\frac{750}{54}$ m/s Convert m/s into km/h by multiplying with $\frac{18}{5}$, $\frac{750}{54}$ m/s = $\frac{750}{54}\times \frac{18}{5}$ km/hr = 50 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 50 km/hr.
