Solution

To solve this problem, we need to first find out Amar's speed when he was travelling at 4/9th of his original speed.

  1. We know that speed = distance/time. In this case, the distance is 38 km and the time is 100 minutes. But we need to convert the time to hours because the speed is usually measured in km/h. So, 100 minutes = 100/60 = 1.67 hours.

  2. Now we can calculate the speed: speed = 38 km / 1.67 hours = 22.8 km/h. This is Amar's speed when he was travelling at 4/9th of his original speed.

  3. To find out his original speed, we need to solve the equation: original speed = 22.8 km/h / (4/9) = 51.3 km/h.

So, the closest answer to the actual speed of the car is A) 50.8 km/h.
