...measurement is liable to 5%? error, find the percentage error in the speed?
 
40km = 24m
------- x -------
Xkm = 60m
we cross multiply 40x 60 then divide by 24
=============
100 kmh +/- 5 kmh
24 min = +/- 1.2 min
so...

105 kmh @ 25.2 plus
95 kmh @ 25.2
105 kmh @ 23.8
95 kmh @ 23.8
================
400 kmh @ 98

divide by 4 and you have
================
100 kmh (@ 24.5 min)
