Time, Speed & Distance

Easy

Amit is walking at a speed of 10 km/hr. After every kilometer, he takes a rest for 5 minutes. What is the time taken to cover a distance of 5 kilometers by Amit?

55 minutes

50 minutes

45 minutes

40 minutes

✅ Correct Option: 2

Amit's speed = 10 km/hr

Time for 1 km:

Time $= \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

$= \dfrac{1}{10}$ hour

$= \dfrac{1}{10} \times 60$

$= 6$ minutes per km

Distance to cover = 5 km

Walking time $= 5 \times 6$

$= 30$ minutes

After 1st km → Rest

After 2nd km → Rest

After 3rd km → Rest

After 4th km → Rest

After 5th km → Destination reached (no rest)

Number of rests $= 4$

Rest time $= 4 \times 5$

$= 20$ minutes

Total time $=$ Walking time $+$ Rest time

$= 30 + 20$

$= 50$ minutes
