Gce Model Questions Vol1 2017 Geography Question 30
Practice objective / multiple choice question 30 from the 2017 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
An 240 km highway will be equipped with service stations for electric vehicles. Each station can serve vehicles within a radius of 80 km along the highway (i.e., 40 km each direction). To guarantee that any point on the highway is at most 40 km from a station, stations must be spaced no more than 80 km apart. Moreover, assuming traffic is uniformly distributed, the average distance a vehicle must travel to reach the nearest station is \(s/4\), where \(s\) is the station spacing. The government requires this average distance not to exceed 20 km. Determine the minimum number of stations required and the uniform spacing (in km) between them that satisfies both conditions.
