    Question

    Kamal travels from City A to City B. If Kamal drives his car at 1/4 of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 54 minutes late. Find the time (in minutes) that Kamal would have taken to travel from City A to City B if he drove at his normal speed.

    A.

    13

    B.

    23

    C.

    10

    D.

    18

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    At 14\frac{1}{4}​ of his normal speed, Kamal is 54 minutes late.

    Concept Used:

    Time is inversely proportional to speed for a fixed distance.

    Solution:

    Let the normal time be t minutes

    At 14\frac{1}{4}​ speed, the time taken is 4t

    The difference in time is:

    4t - t = 54

    3t = 54

    t = 543\frac{54}{3}​ = 18 minutes

    Thus, the time Kamal would have taken to travel at his normal speed is 18 minutes.
