Question

    Traveling at his normal speed, a man covers the distance to his destination in 15 hours. If he reduces his speed by (1/5) , he covers 75 km less in the same period. Find his usual speed.

    A 20 km/h. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36 km/h. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50 km/h. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 km/h. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the usual speed be 5x km/h. The reduced speed = (4/5) × 5x = 4x km/h Using the formula Distance = Speed × Time, Usual speed = 5x = 25 km/h.
