The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the man in kilometers per hour (km/h), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the time from minutes to hours The man covers 1 kilometer in 10 minutes. We need to convert 10 minutes into hours since speed is typically expressed in km/h. \[ \text{Time in hours} = \frac{10 \text{ minutes}}{60 \text{ minutes/hour}} = \frac{1}{6} \text{ hours} \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for speed The formula for speed is given by: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula We have the distance as 1 kilometer and the time as \(\frac{1}{6}\) hours. Substituting these values into the speed formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{1 \text{ km}}{\frac{1}{6} \text{ hours}} = 1 \text{ km} \times 6 = 6 \text{ km/h} \] ### Step 4: Conclusion The speed of the man is 6 km/h. However, this value does not match any of the provided options (1.33, 1.25, 1.67, 1.50).
