    Question

    Zakir travels from City A to City B. If Zakir drives his car at 14\frac 14​ of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 45 minutes late. Find the time (in minutes) that Zakir would have taken to travel from City A to City B if he drove at his normal speed.

    A.

    12

    B.

    6

    C.

    15

    D.

    16

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    If Zakir drives at 14\frac 14​ of his normal speed, he is 45 minutes late.

    Let the normal time taken to reach City B be x minutes.

    Formula Used:

    - Time =DistanceSpeed\frac{Distance }{ Speed}

    - If speed decreases, time increases proportionally for the same distance.

    Solution:

    Let the time Zakir normally takes be x minutes.
    If the speed is reduced to 1/4, the time becomes 4 times more, i.e., 4x.
    The delay caused = 4x - x = 3x
    Solution:
    3x = 45
    x = 15
