Answer / harsimranjot singh

THE RATED SPEED TELLS US ABOUT THE MAXIMUM SPEED WHICH CAN
BE ACHIEVED BY A VEHICLE OR SOME OTHER MACHINE BUT THE
ECONOMICAL SPEED MEANS THE SPEED LIMIT AT WHICH THE MACHINE
WORKS EFFICIENTLY WITH LEAST CONSUMPTION OF FUEL.EG-
IN NORMAL BIKES(NOT RACING),THE MAX.SPEED LIMIT SHOWN ON
SPEEDOMETER IS UPTO 120 KMPH BUT COMPANIES ALWAYS ADVICE
THEIR CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE SUCH BIKES AT AROUND 60 KMPH TO
HAVE MAXIMUM MILEAGE
