9. Last Sunday, Priyanka decided to go outside with her family for the dinner in some particular
restaurant. Then, she thought to go through her own car. So, while moving she increased the speed
of the car from 36 km/h to 54 km/h. All of sudden, a rickshaw came in front of her car but due to
applying of brakes at the right time, both of them got safe from meeting with an accident. Calculate
the increase in the speed of the car in the terms of m/s.

14. Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house is 9 km. Bholu has to attend Golu’s birthday party at 7
O’ clock. He started his journey from his home at 6 O’ clock on his bicycle and covered a distance
of 6 km in 40 min. At that point, he met Chintu and he spoke to him for 5 min and reached Golu’s
birthday party at 7 O’ clock. With what speed, did he cover the second part of the journey?
Calculate-his average speed for the entire journey.
