Show Answer

Correct Answer: (5)

Solution: (5)

Time taken by TATA car along route $C$ $=\frac{320 \times \frac{3}{4}}{240 \times 85 \%}=1.18$ hours $=1$ hour and 11 minutes

Time taken to cover the remaining distance along route $B$ $=\frac{280 \times \frac{1}{2}}{240 \times 82 \%}=0.7$ hour $=42$ minutes

Total time taken $=1$ hour $53 min$ utes
