Question

Manoj travels from City A to City B. If Manoj drives his car at 15\frac{1}{5}​of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 36 minutes late. Find the time (in minutes) that Manoj would have taken to travel from City A to City B if he drove at his normal speed.

A.

9

B.

18

C.

36

D.

12

Correct option is A

Given:
Manoj drives at 1/5 of his normal speed and reaches 36 minutes late.
Concept:
Speed and time are inversely proportional.
Solution:
If speed becomes 1/5, time becomes 5 times.
Let normal time = T
Slow speed time = 5T
Extra time = 5T − T = 4T
Given delay = 36 minutes
So,
4T = 36
T = 9
Answer: 9 minutes
