प्रश्न
The given table shows the distance covered and the time taken by a train moving at a uniform speed along a straight track:
| Distance (in m) | 60 | 90 | y |
| Time (in sec) | 2 | x | 5 |
The values of x and y are:
विकल्प
x = 4, y = 150
x = 3, y = 100
x = 4, y = 100
x = 3, y = 150

उत्तर
x = 3, y = 150
Explanation:
It is a directional change.
If the speed is uniform, the moving distance covered will be larger than the time taken then,
`\implies 60/2 = 90/x = y/5`
`\implies` x = `(90 xx 2)/60` and y = `(60 xx 5)/2`
x = `180/60` and y = `300/2`
∴ x = 3 and y = 150
