A car travelling with 
of its actual speed covers 42 km in 1 hr 40 min 48 sec. Find the actual speed of the car.
of its actual speed covers 42 km in 1 hr 40 min 48 sec. Find the actual speed of the car.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Time taken = 1 hr 40 min 48 sec = 1 hr 40 | 4 | min = 1 | 51 | hrs = | 126 | hrs. |
| 5 | 75 | 75 |
Let the actual speed be x km/hr.
| Then, | 5 | x x | 126 | = 42 |
| 7 | 75 |
 x = |
 |
42 x 7 x 75 |  |
= 35 km/hr. |
| 5 x 126 |

Conversion of km/hr to m/sec :
x km/hr = (x * (5/18)) m/sec
Conversion of m/sec to km/hr :
x m/sec = (x * (18/5)) km/hr
x km/hr = (x * (5/18)) m/sec
Conversion of m/sec to km/hr :
x m/sec = (x * (18/5)) km/hr

Let the actual speed be x
Total time = 1 hr 40 4/5 min .
= 1 51/75 hr.
= 126 / 75 hr
[convert it into min then into hrs by dividing it by 60
e.g 15 sec = 15/60 min = 1/4 min]
speed * time = distance
5/7x * 126/75 = 42
x = 42 x 75 x 7 / 5 x 126
x = 35
therefore
x = 35 kmph
Total time = 1 hr 40 4/5 min .
= 1 51/75 hr.
= 126 / 75 hr
[convert it into min then into hrs by dividing it by 60
e.g 15 sec = 15/60 min = 1/4 min]
speed * time = distance
5/7x * 126/75 = 42
x = 42 x 75 x 7 / 5 x 126
x = 35
therefore
x = 35 kmph

@Abhishek
I din't understand 4th line..
= 1hr +(40.8/60)hr [as,(40.8/60)=(68/100)]
please explain it...
how 40.8/60= 68/100?

For converting
Min to hours:divide by 60
Sec to min:divide by 60
Aain Min to hours:divide by 60
so,
1 hr 40min 48sec= 1 + 40/60 + 48/(60*60) hrs
=1+ 2/3 + 4/300
=(300+200+4)/300
=504/300
=126/75
actual speed=X km/hr
Then
(5/7)X*(126/75)=42
X=(42*7*75)/(5*126)
=35Km/hr
Min to hours:divide by 60
Sec to min:divide by 60
Aain Min to hours:divide by 60
so,
1 hr 40min 48sec= 1 + 40/60 + 48/(60*60) hrs
=1+ 2/3 + 4/300
=(300+200+4)/300
=504/300
=126/75
actual speed=X km/hr
Then
(5/7)X*(126/75)=42
X=(42*7*75)/(5*126)
=35Km/hr

1 hr 40min 48 sec = 1 + 40/60 + 48/(60*60) hrs
=1+ 2/3 + 4/300
=(300+200+4)/300
=504/300
=126/75
Please sidharth can explain the answer please as 35 km/ph and =(300+200+4)/300 this step.
Thanks.

Let first consider 48sec
So, 48/60=4/5 min
then
40+4/5=204/5;
Convert this into hour
i.e (204/5)/60=51/75
Total
1+(51/75)=126/75
So, 48/60=4/5 min
then
40+4/5=204/5;
Convert this into hour
i.e (204/5)/60=51/75
Total
1+(51/75)=126/75
