    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
