Quantitative Aptitude • Time, Speed & WorkEasy
A car covers 540 km in 2 hours. What is its speed in metres per second?
A. 150 m/s
B. 75 m/s✓ Correct Answer
C. 972 m/s
D. 270 m/s
💡 Solution & Explanation
Speed = distance ÷ time = 540 ÷ 2 = 270 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 270 × 5/18 = 75 m/s.
