Correct Answer: 18 km/hr
Solution : A car can finish the journey in 10 hours at a speed of 42 km/hr. Total distance of journey = 42 × 10 = 420 km Required speed to cover this distance in 7 hours = $\frac{420}{7}$ = 60 km/hr So, the speed must be increased by = (60 – 42) = 18 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 18 km/hr.
