(b) 50 km/h
(c) 60 km/h

Answer:

Let the original speed of car is x km \hr

Then time taken in moving 840 km=

x

840

hr

if speed is going 10 km \hr more =x+10

Then time taken in moving 840 km=

x+10

840

hr

x

840

x+10

840

=2

⇒840(x+10)−840x=2x(x+10)

⇒2x

2

+20x−8400=0

⇒x

2

+70x+−60x−4200=0

⇒(x+70)(x−60)=0

⇒x=60orx=−70

If x=-70 is not true because speed not negetive

So speed is 60 km \ hr
