Al-Jolson Airways runs a scheduled flight from Marseilles to Cairo, stopping at Palermo and Benghazi, every day. The plane takes off from Marseille at 08:00 and arrives at Palermo an hour later. After a 10-minute stop, it takes off again and then lands at Benghazi at 10:00, where it takes 10 minutes to refuel before taking off for Cairo. It finally lands in Cairo at 11:30. The aeroplane normally flies at 600 km/h, but on today's flight the pilot encountered turbulence and had to slow down to 500 km/h for 15 minutes. The plane was delayed in the approach to Cairo and had to circle at 300 km/h for 10 minutes before landing. Which of the following graphs best represents the airplane's speed during the journey?

Correct answer: B. Option B

  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation

The correct graph should reflect the initial constant speed of 600 km/h, a reduction to 500 km/h for 15 minutes due to turbulence, and a final reduction to 300 km/h while circling for 10 minutes before landing. Option B accurately represents these speed changes. Options A, C, and D fail to capture one or more of these critical details, such as speed reductions or circling periods.

About Scientific Reasoning

Scientific reasoning evaluates hypotheses through observations, variables, controls, measurements and experimental results. Questions involve identifying independent and dependent variables, recognising a fair test, interpreting tables or graphs, distinguishing evidence from opinion, and deciding whether data supports, rejects or leaves a hypothesis unresolved.
