    Question

    The distance between two towns is covered in 9 hours at a speed of 60 kmph. By how much should the speed (in km/h) be increased so that 1 hour of the travelling time is saved?

    A.

    7.5

    B.

    10

    C.

    15

    D.

    12.5

    Correct option is A

    Distance = Speed * Time
    Distance = 60 km/h * 9 hours = 540 km
    New time = Initial time - Time saved
    New time = 9 hours - 1 hour = 8 hours
    New speed = 540 km / 8 hours = 67.5 km/h
    Speed increase = New speed - Initial speed= 67.5 km/h - 60 km/h = 7.5 km/h
