An aeroplane covers a certain distance at a speed of 240 kmph in 5 hours. To cover the same distance in $1 \frac{2}{3}$ hours, it must travel at a speed of

(a)300 kmph

(b)360 kmph

(c)600 kmph

(d)720 kmph

Answer

Answer (as printed): D

Explanation

Distance $=(240\times5)\mathrm{km}=1200\mathrm{km}$. $$\therefore \text{Required speed} = \left(1200\times\frac{3}{5}\right)\mathrm{km}/\mathrm{hr}=720\mathrm{km}/\mathrm{hr}.$$
