Since greatest value is asked we will check the options in descending order,
Let ‘a’ be the avg. speed during the 8 hr trip
∴ Distance covered in 8 hr = 8a
Final reading – initial reading = 8a
26862 – x = 8a
Where x must be a palindrome no.
Let a = 110 then x = 26862 – 8(110)
x = 26862 – 880
x = 25982 not a palindrome
Let a = 100 then x = 26862 – 8(100)
x = 26862 – 800
x = 26062 definitely a palindrome.
∴ Out of given four alternatives option (c) is the correct choice.
