    1 .The average speed of a car is 1$4 \over 5$ times the average speed of a bus. A tractor covers 575 km in 23 hours. How much distance will the car cover in 4 hours if the speed of the bus is twice speed of the tractor ?
    A.  340 km
    B.  480 km
    C.  360 km
    D.  450 km
    E.  None of these
    Answer & Explanation
    Answer : Option C
    Explanation :
    Average speed of a tractor = $575 \over 23$ = 25 km/h
    The speed of a bus in an hour = 25$\times$2 = 50 km
    The speed of a car in an hour = 50$\times$ $9 \over 5$ = 90 km
    So, the distance covered by car in 4h is 90$\times$ 4 = 360 km
