Solution
Distance covered = 600 km
Time taken = 3 hr 20 min
= `3 20/60=3 1/3=10/3`hrs
∴ Speed in km/h = `"Distance"/"Time"`
= `600/(10/3)`
= `(600xx3)/10` km/h
= 180 km/h
and Speed in m/sec = `(180xx1000)/(60xx60)`
= 50 m/sec
and Distance covered in 50 seconds
= Speed × Time
= 50 × 50 m
= 2500 m or 2.5 km
