Quantitative Aptitude • Time, Speed & WorkEasy
A car covers 252 km in 2 hours. What is its speed in metres per second?
A. 453.6 m/s
B. 35 m/s✓ Correct Answer
C. 126 m/s
D. 70 m/s
💡 Solution & Explanation
Speed = distance ÷ time = 252 ÷ 2 = 126 km/h. To change km/h into m/s, multiply by 5/18 (because 1 km = 1,000 m and 1 hour = 3,600 seconds). So 126 × 5/18 = 35 m/s.
