Answer / name
assume the no of additional hours be 'x'. then total
distance is given by
55*4+70*x = 60(4+x)
which on solving, gives x=2.
which gives the total hours travelled to be 6 hours.
i think this is correct. not sure........

Answer / aprameya
avg speed = (total distance)/total time)
60 = (55 + 55 + 55 + 55 + 70n)/(4 + n)
where n = number of hours after 4 hours..
v get n = 2.. => total duration is 2hrs + 4hrs = 6hrs

Answer / shobhit awasthi
It's very simple
When we calculate we will find that
55*4=220
and
also
70*2=140
and as question said that the average speed is 60 so
220+140=360/6=60 that's it
No other option is satisfying the average speed condition.

Answer / kondayya
we have
(55*4+70*x)/(4+x)=60
by trial and error method,
put x=1,x=2,........
ans=2

Answer / shyam
avg speed = (total distance)/(total time)
car first travels 4hrs.. let us assume it travels for nhrs
after 4 hrs.. So it keeps up an avg speed of 70mph for n hrs
hence 60 = (55+70n)/(4+n) => n = 18.5hrs
therefore total duration is 18.5 + 4 = 22.5hrs

Seven members sat around a table for three days for a conference. The member's names were Abhishek, Amol, Ankur, Anurag, Bhuwan ,Vasu and Vikram. The meetings were chaired by Vikram. On the first evening members sat around the table alphabetically. On the following two nights, Vikram arranged the seating so that he could have Abhishek as near to him as possible and absent minded Vasu as far away as he could. On no evening did any person have sitting next to him a person who had previously been his neighbor. How did Vikram manage to seat everybody to the best advantage on the second and third evenings?
