A truck covers a distance of 296 km at a certain speed in 8 hours. How much time would a car take at an average speed which is 18 kmph more than that of the speed of the truck to cover a distance which is 6.5 km more than that travelled by the truck ?  Choices:	A) 6 hours	B) 5 hours	C) 5.5 hours	D) 8 hours	E) None
Explanation :   Speed of the truck = Distance/time = 296/8= 
<gadget id="calculator">296/8</gadget>
<output>37</output>
37 kmph   Now, speed of car= (speed of truck + 18) kmph = (37 + 18)= 
<gadget id="calculator">(37 + 18)</gadget>
<output>55</output>
55 kmph   Distance travelled by car= 296 + 6.5= 
<gadget id="calculator">296 + 6.5</gadget>
<output>302.5</output>
302.5 km   Time taken by car= Distance/Speed = 302.5/55= 
<gadget id="calculator">302.5/55</gadget>
<output>5.5</output>
5.5 hours.   Answer – 5.5 hours
