In a race,Raghu covers 5 m in 20 minutes.how much distance will be cover in 50 minutes?

Options

A. 10.5 km
B. 12 km
C. 12.5 km
D. 13.5 km

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these calculations:

**Step 1: Determine the distance covered in 1 minute.**
- Raghu covers 5 km in 20 minutes.
- To find the distance covered in 1 minute, we divide the total distance by the total time.

\[ \text{Distance in 1 minute} = \frac{5 \text{ km}}{20 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{5}{20} \text{ km} = \frac{1}{4} \text{ km} \]

**Step 2: Calculate the distance covered in 50 minutes.**
- Now that we know Raghu covers \(\frac{1}{4}\) km in 1 minute, we can find out how much he covers in 50 minutes by multiplying the distance covered in 1 minute by 50.

\[ \text{Distance in 50 minutes} = \left(\frac{1}{4} \text{ km}\right) \times 50 = \frac{50}{4} \text{ km} = 12.5 \text{ km} \]

**Final Answer:**
- Therefore, Raghu will cover **12.5 km** in 50 minutes.
