VIII. Exercise Problems:

1. During a time interval of 5 hours, a car has travelled a distance of 350 km.
Find the speed of the car.

2. How far will a body running at a uniform speed of 30 cm/sec travels in 1.5
minutes?

3. How long will it take body running at a uniform speed of 25 m/sec to cover
a distance of 1.3 km?

4. What is the average speed of a car, which travelled at 40 km/hr for 20 km

and at 60 km/hr for 40 km?
5. A motorist has to travel 3.5 km in a city where his average speed should
not exceed 25 km/hr. If he increases his average speed to 40 km/hr, how
much time will he gain in his journey?
