The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: **Step 1: Calculate the distance covered by Car P.** - Car P travels at a speed of 66 km/h for 11 hours. - The formula to calculate distance is: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] - Therefore, the distance covered by Car P is: \[ \text{Distance of Car P} = 66 \, \text{km/h} \times 11 \, \text{hours} = 726 \, \text{km} \] **Step 2: Calculate the distance covered by Car Q.** - Car Q covers 242 km more than Car P. - Thus, the distance covered by Car Q is: \[ \text{Distance of Car Q} = 726 \, \text{km} + 242 \, \text{km} = 968 \, \text{km} \] **Step 3: Calculate the average speed of Car Q.** - Car Q also takes the same time (11 hours) to cover its distance. - Using the speed formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] - The average speed of Car Q is: \[ \text{Speed of Car Q} = \frac{968 \, \text{km}}{11 \, \text{hours}} = 88 \, \text{km/h} \] **Final Answer:** The average speed of Car Q is **88 km/h**. ---
