A man reduces his speed from 20 kmph to 18 kmph. So, he takes 10 minutes more than the normal time. what is the distance traveled by him.

  • 130 km
  • 225 km
  • 350 km
  • 4 36 km
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Usual time = 9 * 10 = 90 min = 3/2 h
Thus,
Distance traveled = Speed * time = 20 * (3/2) = 30 km.

Alternatively,
As the speed decreases from 20 kmph to 18 kmph i.e. 10 % increment in usual time.
10 % = 10 min
100 % = 100 min.
Now,
Distance traveled by him,
= (100/60 h) *18
= 30 km.
