Answer 2

Given:-

A car can finish a certain journey in 10 hours

At the speed of 48 km/hr

To Find:-

Let the increased speed be x km/h.

Time 10 Hours or 8hours

Speed (km/h) 48x+48

10 × 48 = 8 (x + 48)

$\sf \: \longrightarrow 480x = 8× + 384 \\ \\ \sf \: \longrightarrow 8x= 480 -384 \\ \\ \sf\longrightarrow 8x = 96 \\ \\ \sf \sf\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\red{ \: \: 1 \: \: \: }}}$

Thus, the speed should be increased by 12km/h.✅
