Question

A.

B.

61

C.

60

D.

62

Correct option is C

Given:
Hari drives at (2/3) of his normal speed.
Delay = 30 minutes.
Solution:
Let Distance = D and Normal Speed = S.
New Speed = 23S\frac 23 S​​
Time at New Speed =D(23)×S\frac{D}{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \times S}​​
Time at Normal Speed = DS\frac{D}{S}​​
Difference in time=D(23)×SDS=30 =>3D2SDS=30 =>3D2D2S=30 =>D2S=30 =>DS=60\text{Difference in time} = \frac{D}{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \times S} - \frac{D}{S} = 30\\\ \\\Rightarrow \frac{3D}{2S} - \frac{D}{S} = 30\\\ \\\Rightarrow \frac{3D - 2D}{2S} = 30\\\ \\\Rightarrow \frac{D}{2S} = 30\\\ \\\Rightarrow \frac{D}{S} = 60​​
