A. 80 km/h
B. 90 km/h
C. 72 km/h
D. 60 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C

A delivery coach covers a highway stretch at 40 km/h. If the driver spikes the speed index to 60 km/h, the coach lands at the station terminal 15 minutes early. Find the track sector distance.
A. 30 km
B. 34 km
C. 36 km
D. 26 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours. Let distance be d. d / 40 - d / 60 = 1/4 => (3d - 2d) / 120 = 1/4 => d / 120 = 1/4 => d = 30 km.
