Practicing Success
If Aman travels with 12.5% less speed of his usual speed, then he will reach 9 minutes late. What is the usual time taken by him? |
63 minutes 70 minutes 56 minutes 49 minutes |
63 minutes |
When distance is same, ratio of time ∝ $\frac{1}{speed}$ 12.5% = $\frac{1}{8}$ Original : New Speed 8 : 7 Time 7 : 8 the difference = R We are given that Aman reaches 9 minutes late due to decrease in speed, Thus, R = 9 minutes Usual time taken by Aman = 7 x 9 = 63 minutes
