Practicing Success
After an accident a train moves at $\frac{2}{3}$ of its original speed and due to this it reaches 45 minute late. What is the original time of journey? |
20 minutes 25 minutes 90 minutes 32 minutes |
90 minutes |
Let the speed of the train = 3x After accident it travels with = 2/3 × 3x = 2x so, if the distance is same then the speed is inversely proportional to the time, So, Speed = 3x : 2x Time will be = 2x : 3x So, extra time = 3x - 2x = x x = 45 min So, the original time = 45 × 2 = 90min |
