    Question

    Ravi travels from City A to City B. If Ravi drives his car at 23\frac 23​ of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 47 minutes late. Find the time (in minutes) that Ravi would have taken to travel from City A to City B if he drove at his normal speed.

    A.

    100

    B.

    94

    C.

    84

    D.

    102

    Correct option is B

    Given: 

    Ravi travels from City A to City B. If Ravi drives his car at 23\frac 23​ of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 47 minutes late.

    Concept Used:

    The time taken to travel is inversely proportional to the speed, meaning that if speed decreases, time increases.

    Solution: 
    Let normal time = t minutes.
    New time = 3t/2
    Extra time = 3t/2 - t = 47
    t/2 = 47 → t = 94
    Normal travel time = 94 minutes.

    Alternate Solution: 

    For constant distance; 

    Speed 1Time\propto \frac1{Time}

    Speed ratio = 2    :     3

    Time ratio = 3     :     2

    3- 2 = 47 min.

    1 unit = 47 min.

    2 unit = 94 min. 

    time taken by normal speed = 2 × 47 = 94 min.
