Correct option is C
Given:
Let normal time taken = x minutes
Reduced speed = of normal speed
Time difference = 45 minutes
Formula Used:
Time = Distance / Speed
If speed is reduced, time increases in inverse ratio.
Solution:
If speed is of normal, then time taken will be of normal time.
So, increased time = × x
Difference in time = x - x = 45
Therefore, Zakir would have taken 90 minutes at his normal speed.
Alternate Solution:
As we know, time is inversely proportional to speed.
Let the usual speed of the person be 3x
Speed of the person after decreasing = 2x
Ratio of usual speed to after decreasing = 3x : 2x
Ratio of usual time to after decreasing = 2x : 3x
3x – 2x = 45
=> x = 45
2x = 2× 45 =90 min
