The fuel cost per hour for running a train is proportional to the square of the speed it generates in km per hour. If the fuel costs ā¹ 48 per hour at speed 16 km per hour and the fixed charges to run the train amount to ā¹ 1200 per hour. Assume the speed of the train as š£ km/h.
Question 46 ā 50 are based on Case Study -2 The fuel cost per hour for running a train is proportional to the square of the speed it generates in km per hour. If the fuel costs ā¹ 48 per hour at speed 16 km per hour and the fixed charges to run the train amount to ā¹ 1200 per hour. Assume the speed of the train as š£ km/h.
Question 46 Given that the fuel cost per hour is š times the square of the speed the train generates in km/h, the value of š is: (a) 16/3 (b) 1/3 (c) 3 (d) 3/16
Given that
Fuel cost per hour = k Ć (Speed of train)2
Also, given that
If the fuel costs ā¹ 48 per hour at speed 16 km per hour
Thus,
Fuel cost per hour = k Ć (Speed of train)2
48 = k Ć 162
48 = k Ć 256
šš/ššš = k
3/16 = k
k = š/šš
So, the correct answer is (d)
