Time, Speed and Distance

Question:

A person has to cover a distance of 91 km. If he increases his speed by 6 km/hr he reaches 6 hour early. Find his initial speed (in km/hr).

Options:

5

7

11

9

Correct Answer:

7

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = x km/hr

ATQ,

\(\frac{91}{x}-\frac{91}{x+6}=6\)

let x = 7 (by using option)

\(\frac{91}{7}-\frac{91 }{13}=6\)

13 – 7 = 6 (satisfied)

so, x = 7
