Practicing Success
With an average speed of 45 km/h, a train reaches its destination on time. If it goes with an average speed of 30 km/h, it is late by 15 minutes. The total journey is : |
20.5 km 40.5 km 22.5 km 30.5 km |
22.5 km |
Distance = Speed × Time Speed and Time have inverse relationship. Ratio of , Old : New Speed 45 : 30 3 : 2 Time 2 : 3 According to question , 1R = 15 min Usual Time = 2R = 30 min Distance traveled = \(\frac{45}{0.5}\) = 22.5 km |
