@Charmi.
20%+70%+10%(1800) =100%,
10% is 1800,
so 10x1800 = 18000.
12600(70%) + 3600(20%) + 1800 (10%) = 18000 (100%).
20%+70%+10%(1800) =100%,
10% is 1800,
so 10x1800 = 18000.
12600(70%) + 3600(20%) + 1800 (10%) = 18000 (100%).

Hi Raneesh,
You have explained in very clear but I have a doubt =( 60 *5/18) * 9, how did *5/18.
Speed = Distance/Time.
Distance = Speed * Time.
Or lenght = Speed * Time .
=( 60 *5/18) * 9,
= 50/3 * 9,
= 50 * 3 ,
= 150 meter.

We have to multiply 5/18 to convert the km/hr to m/s.
We have to convert it because time is given in seconds.
