By car 240 km at 60 kmph
Time taken = 240/60 = 4 hr.

By train 240 km at 60 kmph
Time taken = 400/100 = 4 hr.

By bus 240 km at 60 kmph
Time taken = 200/50 = 4 hr.

So total time = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 hr.
and total speed = 240+400+200 = 840 km
Average speed of the whole journey = 840/12 = 70 kmph.

Q:

Main street high school has 10 members on its football team and 14 members on its science club. 5 members at the school belong to both the football and science teams. How many students belong to only science club team or football team?

A) 9 B) 14
C) 24 D) 21
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 9

Explanation:

Given that,

Members in football team = n(f) = 10

Members in science club = n(s) = 14

Members in both football team and science club = n(f ^ s) = 5

 

Then, Members in only football team = n(F) = 10 - 5 = 5

Members in only science team = n(S) = 14 - 5 = 9

Hence, members in only football or science team = n(FUS) = n(F) + n(S) - n(f^s) 

= 9 + 5 - 5

= 9.

 

Hence, many students belong to only science club team or football team = 9.
