Time, Speed and Distance

Question:

A boy reduces his speed to \(\frac{7}{11}\) and reaches his destination in 22 hours. How much time he will save if he walk at his initial speed?

Options:

14 hrs

10 hrs

9 hrs

8 hrs

Correct Answer:

8 hrs

Explanation:

S1 = Actual Speed

S2 = New Speed

T1 = Actual Time

T2 = New Time

*Time ∝ Speed when distance is same*

ATQ,

S1 : S2 = 11 : 7

T1 : T2 =  7 : 11  ⇒ 4R (Saved time at normal speed)

11R = 22hrs (given)

1R = 2hrs.

Time save at normal speed = 4R = 4× 2 = 8 hrs.
