Question

A car takes 50 minutes to cover a certain distance at a speed of 54 km/h. If the speed is increased by 25%, then how long will it take to cover three-fourth of the same distance?

• A. 40 minutes
• B. 30 minutes
• C. 35 minutes
• D. 25 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 30 minutes

Speed is inversely proportional to the time Speed ratio = 4 : 5 Time ratio = 5 : 4 5 = 50 minutes So, 4 = 40 minutes But 40 is for the total journey then for 3/4th it is 40 × 3/4 = 30 minutes
