Question

Rohan can travel from Delhi to Kanyakumari in 30 h. If he reduces his speed by 115th\frac{1}{15}th, he goes 10 km less at the same time. Find the speed.

A.

2.5 km/h

B.

5 km/h

C.

8 km/h

D.

3 km/h

Correct option is B

Given:
Time = 30h
Formula Used:

Distance = Speed ×\times​ Time 
Solution:
Let the distance between Delhi to Kanyakumari be a km.
Speed =a30\frac a{30} kmph
New speed = a30×(1115)\frac a{30} × (1 - \frac1{15})​ = 14a450\frac {14a}{ 450}​kmph
New distance = a - 10
Then,
14a450=(a10)30\frac {14a}{ 450} = \frac{(a - 10)} {30}​​
=> 14a = 15a - 150
=> a = 150 km
∴ His original speed = 150 / 30 = 5 kmph
