Answer:

(A) 4N
(B) 4N - 8 = 24
(C) N = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red balls = N

Number of black balls = 3 × N = 3N

(A) Total number of balls in the box = Number of red balls + Number of red balls

= N + 3N

= 4N

(B) After removing 8 balls, total number of balls left = 4N - 8

So, according to the question, 

4N - 8 = 24

(C) Solving for N, 

4N = 32

N = 32/4

Thus, 

N = 8

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km
