Two cars X and Y start at the same point and travel towards a point P which is 150km away. If the average speed of Y is 60km per hour and x arrives at P 25 minutes earlier than Y. What is the average speed of X?

A.

5137km per hour

B.

72km per hour

C.

3712 km per hour

D.

66km per hour

E.

75km per hour

Correct answer is B

Distance travelled by both x and y = 150 km.

Speed of y = 60km per hour, Time = dist.Speed

Time spent by y = 15060

= 236hrs

= 12 hrs

if x arrived at p 25 minutes earlier than y, then time spent by x = 2 hour 5 mins

= 125 mins

x average speed = 150125 x 601

= 9000125

= 72 km\hr
