Question

Zakir travels from City A to City B. If Zakir drives his car at 2 of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 10 minutes late. Find the time (in minutes) that Zakir would have taken to travel from City A to City B if he drove at his normal speed.

• A. 10
• B. 30
• C. 26
• D. 24

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 10

Let normal time = (t) minutes.

If Zakir drives at half of his normal speed (2 times slower), time becomes double:
2t
He reaches 10 minutes late, so:
2t = t + 10

Solve:
t = 10

Final Answer: 10 minutes
