• New speed = x + 10 km/hr. ∴ New time = hr. Difference in time = 36 mins. ∴ Original speed = 30km/hr.

Answer:
30km/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct option is
A
30km/hr
Let the original speed of the car =xkm/hr
∴ Time taken by it to cover 72km=
x
72
hrs
New speed of the car = (x+10)km/hr
∴ New time taken by the car to cover 72km=
x+10
72
hrs
As per the given condition, time is reduced by 36 minutes
∴
x
72
−
x+10
72
=
60
36
x
2
+10x−1200=0
(x−30)(x+40)=0
On solving we get, x=−40 or x=30
Since the speed cannot be negative, so x=30km/hr.
