Let the correct time for the train to complete the journey is x minuets

Then train cover distance in x+11 minuets at speed 40 km\hr = \frac{40(x + 11)}{60} km

Then train cover distance in x+5 minuets at speed 50 km\hr = \frac{50(x + 5)}{60} km

Both are same then \frac{40(x + 11)}{60} = \frac{50(x + 5}{60}

∴40x+440=50x+250

∴−10x=−190

∴x=19 minutes

hence the answer is x= 19 minutes

Answer:

In 19 minutes, the bus will not be late in reaching its destination.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solve by 2 methods.

Given -

A bus runs at 40 km per hour to reach its destination.

The bus arrives 11 mins late.

It runs at 50 km per hour it will be 5 minute late.

To Find

The time in which the bus will not be late in reaching its destination.

Solution 1 -

Consider the -

Time as - t.

It implies,

Increase in speed by 25% will decrease of 1/5th in time if distance is constant.

So,

\begin{gathered}\sf\\ \\\implies \dfrac{t}{5} = (11- 5) = 6\\ \\\implies t = 30m.\\ \\\end{gathered}

We get the normal time as 30 minutes. But it is given that the bus arrives 11 mins late.

So,

\sf \implies 30-11 = 19

∴ The answer is 19 Minutes.

\rule{300}{1.5}

Solution 2 -

Find the Ratio of the speeds & Time.

So,

Ratio of speeds = 40 : 50 = 4 : 5

Now,

If distance is constant then, Time is inversely proportional to Speed.

So,

Time Ratio = 5 : 4

Time saved = \sf \dfrac{(5 - 4)}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}

⇒ 30 minutes.

⇒ 30 - 11 = 19 minutes.

∴ The answer is 19 Minutes.
