Question:

A person has to cover a distance of 60 km. If he increases his speed by 3 km/hr he reaches 1 hr early. Find his initial speed (in km/hr).

Options:

16

15

12

10

Correct Answer:

12

Explanation:

Let the initial speed = x km/hr

ATQ,

\(\frac{60}{x}-\frac{60}{x+3}=1\)

let x = 12 (by using option)

\(\frac{60}{12}-\frac{60 }{150}=1\)

5 – 4 = 1 (satisfied)
