Multiple choice

In a logistics company, three delivery trucks: X, Y, and Z, are tasked with transporting goods over a specified route. Each truck operates for 8 hours per day. Truck X travels at a speed that is 2 times the speed of Truck Y. Truck Y, in turn, travels at a speed that is 1.5 times the speed of Truck Z, which travels at 40 km per hour. How far can Truck X travel in a full day?

  1. 320 km

  2. 480 km

  3. 960 km

  4. 1,600 km

C Correct answer
Explanation

Truck Z speed = 40 km/h. Truck Y speed = 1.5 * 40 = 60 km/h. Truck X speed = 2 * 60 = 120 km/h. Distance = speed * time = 120 km/h * 8 hours = 960 km.

AI explanation

The speed of Truck Z is given as 40 km per hour. Truck Y travels 1.5 times as fast, so its speed is 1.5 multiplied by 40, resulting in 60 km per hour. Truck X travels twice as fast as Truck Y, making its speed 2 multiplied by 60, which is 120 km per hour. Since Truck X operates for 8 hours in a full day, the distance it covers is 120 multiplied by 8, resulting in 960 km.
