Question

Aman goes to his office by car at the speed of 80 km/hr and reaches 10 minutes earlier. If he goes at the speed 30 km/hr, then he reaches 10 minutes late. What will be the speed of the car to reach on time?

A.

480/11 km/hr

B.

240/6 km/hr

C.

450/7 km/hr

D.

480/13 km/hr

Correct option is A

Given:
Speed when Aman reaches 10 minutes earlier: 80 km/hr
Speed when Aman reaches 10 minutes late: 30 km/hr
Time difference between early and late arrival: 20 minutes (10 minutes early + 10 minutes late)
Formula Used:
Speed = DistanceTime\frac{Distance}{Time}​​
For reaching earlier and late from original time:
Distance = Increased speed×Decreased speedDifference between speeds× difference between early and late arrival 60\frac{\text{Increased speed} \times\text{Decreased speed}}{\text{Difference between speeds}}\times \frac{\text{ difference between early and late arrival }}{60}​​
Solution:
Distance = 80×3050×2060\frac{80 \times 30}{50}\times \frac{20}{60}​ = 16 km
Now, For original time;
1680+1060=15+16=1130 \frac{16}{80} + \frac{10}{60} = \frac{1}{5}+ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{11}{30}​ hours
So, Original Speed :
161130=16×3011=48011\frac{16}{\frac{11}{30}} = \frac{16 \times 30}{11} = \bf{ \frac{480}{11}}​ km/h
