    Question

    A person takes 3 and 1/2 hours to cover a distance of 140 km. If he decreased his speed by 5 km/h, then what is the increase in time taken by him (in minutes) to cover the same distance ?

    A.

    18

    B.

    20

    C.

    30

    D.

    45

    Correct option is C

    Time = 7/2 hours
    Speed = 140/(7/2) = 40 km/h
    New speed = 40 – 5 = 35 km/h
    New time = 140/35 = 4 hours
    Increase time = 4 - 7/2 = 30 minutes
    The answer is 30.
