    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
