Correct Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

Time taken by Suzuki $=\frac{310}{160 \times 80 \%}=2.42$ $=2$ hours and 25 minutes

Time taken by TATA $=\frac{310}{150 \times 80 \%}=2.58=2$ hours and 35 minutes

Time taken by Honda $=\frac{310}{170 \times 80 \%}=2.28$ $=1$ hour and 17 minutes

Time taken by Hyundai $=\frac{310}{140 \times 80 \%}=2.77=2$ hours and 46 minutes

Required average

$\approx \frac{9}{4}=2.25=2$ hours 15 minutes
