Question

A bike moving at a speed of 45 km/hr covers certain distance in 4 hours. If its speed is reduced by 20 km/hr, in what time it will cover the same distance?

A.

460 minutes

B.

432 minutes

C.

478 minutes

D.

446 minutes

Correct option is B

Given:
Initial speed of the bike = 45 km/hr
Time taken at this speed = 4 hours
New speed = 45 km/hr - 20 km/hr = 25 km/hr
Formula  Used:
Distance=Speed×Time Time=DistanceNew Speed\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}\\ \ \\\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{New Speed}}​​​
Solution:  
Total distance in first condition = 45×4=180 km45\times4= 180\ km 
Time(new) taken=18025 =7.20 hr=715 hr OR=7×60+60×15 =420+12 432min\text{Time(new) taken} = \frac{180}{25}\\ \ \\=7.20\ hr=7\frac{1}{5}\ hr\\ \\\ OR \\=7\times60+60\times\frac{1}{5}\\ \ \\=420+12\\ \ \\432 \min
Thus, correct option is (b).
