Practicing Success
A man travels from Delhi to Chandigarh. If he travels 25% faster than his speed, he would reach at Chandigarh 15 minutes early. By how many minutes would he be late if he traveks 40% slower than usual speed? |
25 mins. 30 mins. 50 mins. 60 mins |
50 mins. |
Let usual speed = 100 25% faster = 125
Speed → 100 : 125 4 : 5 Time → 5 : 4 ..... (Diff. 1) Difference = 1R = 15 min actual time = 5R = 5× 15 = 75 min ⇒ Reduced speed by 40% Usual speed = 100 New speed = 60 Speed → 100 : 60 5 : 3 Time → 3 : 5 Usual time = 75 min 3R → 75 1R → 25 5R → 125 Late by 125 - 75 = 50 mins |
