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 ?

18

B.

C.

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.
