1.
A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5 minutes. What is his speed in km per hour?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Speed = |  |
600 |  m/sec. |
| 5 x 60 |
= 2 m/sec.
Converting m/sec to km/hr (see important formulas section)
| = | |
2 x | 18 | |
km/hr |
| 5 |
= 7.2 km/hr.

Distance = 600m = 600/1000 km
= 0.6 km.
Time = 5mint = 5/60 hr = 1/12 hr.
Speed = Distance/time.
= (0.6)/1/12.
= 0.6×12.
=7.2
= 0.6 km.
Time = 5mint = 5/60 hr = 1/12 hr.
Speed = Distance/time.
= (0.6)/1/12.
= 0.6×12.
=7.2

Forget this above mentioned method
one man cover 600 m in 5 min thn in 60 min (1 hour)how much he cover
( 60 x 600 ) / 5 = 7200 m = 7200 / 1000 = 7.2 km / hour
1 km = 1000 m
one man cover 600 m in 5 min thn in 60 min (1 hour)how much he cover
( 60 x 600 ) / 5 = 7200 m = 7200 / 1000 = 7.2 km / hour
1 km = 1000 m

Speed = 600 m/5 min.
= 600 m/5*60 sec.
= 600 m/300 sec.
= 2 m/s.
Therefore,
By applying formula.
x km/hr = 18/5 x m/s.
x km/hr = 18/5 x 2.
x km/hr = 36/5.
x km/hr = 7.2.
= 600 m/5*60 sec.
= 600 m/300 sec.
= 2 m/s.
Therefore,
By applying formula.
x km/hr = 18/5 x m/s.
x km/hr = 18/5 x 2.
x km/hr = 36/5.
x km/hr = 7.2.

Speed = distance/time (or) m/sec.
1 min = 60 sec; 5 min = 5*60 sec = 300 sec.
Speed(x) = 600/300.
= 2m/sec.
x*(m/sec) = (x*18/5)km/hr.
= (2*18/5)km/hr.
= 36/5.
= 7.2.
1 min = 60 sec; 5 min = 5*60 sec = 300 sec.
Speed(x) = 600/300.
= 2m/sec.
x*(m/sec) = (x*18/5)km/hr.
= (2*18/5)km/hr.
= 36/5.
= 7.2.

All values is used in above example.
S = d/t, ( 600/5 * 60) m/sec.
Then convert m/ sec into km/hr.
Suppoes,
km/hr = s.
1000/3600 = 2.
5/18 = 2.
= 2 * 18/5.
= 7.2 km/hr.
S = d/t, ( 600/5 * 60) m/sec.
Then convert m/ sec into km/hr.
Suppoes,
km/hr = s.
1000/3600 = 2.
5/18 = 2.
= 2 * 18/5.
= 7.2 km/hr.

Speed = 600 m/sec.
=> 600/ 5 x 60,
= 2 m/sec.
Converting m/sec to km/hr (see important formulas section)
2 multiply 3600/1000,
= 18 km/hr.
Then
= 2 x18/5 km/hr
= 7.2 km/hr.
=> 600/ 5 x 60,
= 2 m/sec.
Converting m/sec to km/hr (see important formulas section)
2 multiply 3600/1000,
= 18 km/hr.
Then
= 2 x18/5 km/hr
= 7.2 km/hr.

In 1 km -1000 m
1 hr.-60 min.
1 min.-60 sec.
So, 1 hr.-3600 sec.
metre\hour to k.m\sec.
To do it, 3600.metr\1000.sec.
Now divide 3600 to 1000, we get 18\5.
1 hr.-60 min.
1 min.-60 sec.
So, 1 hr.-3600 sec.
metre\hour to k.m\sec.
To do it, 3600.metr\1000.sec.
Now divide 3600 to 1000, we get 18\5.

Hi,
I know that I'm late. But I'm fresher.
Answer:
Option B.
Explanation:
Distance = 600 m.
Time = 5 min.
Speed = 600/5 = 120 m/min or 120*60/1000 = 7.2 km/hr.

Ans = Distance ÷ time*second.
= 600 ÷ 5 * 60.
= 7200.
Answer is 7.2.
{Convert into kilometre multiplied by 1000;
7200/1000.
7.2 kilometres in 1 hour}
= 600 ÷ 5 * 60.
= 7200.
Answer is 7.2.
{Convert into kilometre multiplied by 1000;
7200/1000.
7.2 kilometres in 1 hour}
