    Question

    A bus travelling at 72 km/h completes a journey in 15 hours. At what speed will it have to cover the same distance in 12 hours?

    A.

    90 km/h

    B.

    84 km/h

    C.

    89 km/h

    D.

    99 km/h

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Speed = 72 km/h

    Time = 15 hours

    New time = 12 hours

    Formula Used:

    Distance = Speed × Time

    Solution:
    Total Distance covered =  72×1572 \times 15  km​

    New Speed =72×1512= \frac{72 \times 15}{12} =  90 km/hr​​

    The required speed is 90 km/h
