उत्तर
Distance covered 240 km by car with speed 60 km/h
Distance covered 80 km by train with speed 100 km/h
and rest distance covered 200 km by bus with speed 50 km/h
Total distance covered = (240 + 80 + 200) km = 520 km
Now time taken by car = `240/60` = 4 hours
Time taken by train = `80/100=4/5` hours
and time taken by bus = `200/50` = 4 hours
∴ Total time taken
= `4+4/5+4=8 4/5=44/5` hours
∴ Average speed
= `"Distance"/"Time"=520/(44/5)=(520xx5)/44` km/h
= `650/11=59 1/11` km/h

These log boats do not go very far. If the wind is helpful, then travel about 4 km in one hour.
Guess how far you can go in one hour if you walk fast.
In one trip the logboat brings about 20 kg of fish. But other types of boats bring a bigger catch as given in the table. The table also shows the speed of each type of boat, which is how far each boat goes in one hour. Look at the table and calculate -
- If a long tail boat has to travel 60 km how long will it take?
| Type of boat | Catch of fish in one trip (in kg) |
Speed of the boat (how far it goes in one hour) |
| Log boat | 20 | 4 km per hour |
| Long tail boat | 600 | 12 km per hour |
| Motorboat | 800 | 20 km per hour |
| Machine boat | 6000 | 22 km per hour |
What is the correct relationship between speed (S), distance (D), and time (T)?
The SI unit of speed is:
