The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into parts as per the requirements of the question. ### Step 1: Find the average speed of the plane. **Formula for average speed:** \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \] **Given:** - Distance traveled by the plane = 260 km - Time taken by the plane = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours **Calculation:** \[ \text{Average Speed of Plane} = \frac{260 \text{ km}}{0.5 \text{ hours}} = 520 \text{ km/h} \] ### Step 2: Find the average speed of the bus. **Given:** - Distance traveled by the bus = 320 km - Time taken by the bus = 8 hours **Calculation:** \[ \text{Average Speed of Bus} = \frac{320 \text{ km}}{8 \text{ hours}} = 40 \text{ km/h} \] ### Step 3: Find the average velocity of the plane. **Average velocity is defined as:** \[ \text{Average Velocity} = \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}} \] **For the plane:** - Displacement (straight line distance from Patna to Ranchi) = 260 km - Time taken = 0.5 hours **Calculation:** \[ \text{Average Velocity of Plane} = \frac{260 \text{ km}}{0.5 \text{ hours}} = 520 \text{ km/h} \] ### Step 4: Find the average velocity of the bus. **For the bus:** - Displacement = 260 km (same as the plane since it is the straight-line distance) - Time taken = 8 hours **Calculation:** \[ \text{Average Velocity of Bus} = \frac{260 \text{ km}}{8 \text{ hours}} = 32.5 \text{ km/h} \] ### Summary of Results: - Average Speed of Plane = 520 km/h - Average Speed of Bus = 40 km/h - Average Velocity of Plane = 520 km/h - Average Velocity of Bus = 32.5 km/h ---

To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into parts as per the requirements of the question. ### Step 1: Find the average speed of the plane. **Formula for average speed:** \[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \] ...
