Incomplete Question : we have to find the usual speed of an aeroplane.
SOLUTION:
Let x km/h be the usual speed of an aeroplane .
Total Distance to reach the destination = 1500 km
ATQ..
Case 1.
Time = Distance /speed = (1500 / x) h
Case 2.
Let( x +100 )km/h be the new speed of an aeroplane
Time = Distance / Speed = 1500 / (x +100) Hrs
= [1500 / x] - [1500 / x+100] = 30 min
= [1500 / x] - [1500 / x+100] = 30/60
[ 1 min = 1/60 h]
=[1500 / x] - [1500 / x+100] = 1/2 h
= 1500 [ 1/x - 1 /(x+100)] = ½
=1500 × 2 [ x +100 - x / (x(x+100)] = 1
=3000 [ 100/(x²+100x) ]= 1
300000= x² +100x
x² +100x -300000= 0
x² +600x -500x -300000= 0
x(x + 600) - 500(x +600)= 0
(x +600 )(x -500) = 0
x = -600 or x= 500
Since, the speed can not be negative.
Hence, the usual speed of an aeroplane = 500 km/h.

Given:
Late = 30 min
Distance = 1500 km
Speed increase = 100 km / hr
To find:
The usual speed.
Solution:
By formula,
Speed = Distance / Time
Since the time is unknown,
Consider x for time,
Speed original = 1500 / x
Time taken = ( x - 1 / 2 )
Therefore,
Substituting the value of x,
Speed new = 1500 / (x - 1/2)
Speed New - Speed original = 100
( 1500 / ( x - 1 / 2 ) ) - ( 1500 / x ) = 100
150 ( ( 10 / x - 1 / 2 ) - 10 / x = 100
30 x -30 x +15 = 2x^2 - x
15 = 2x^2 - x
2x^2 - x -15 = 0
Solving,
x = -5/2
x = 3
As time cannot be negative,
The usual time taken by the plane is 3 hr
Speed original = ( 1500 / 3 ) = 500 km / hr
Hence, the usual speed of the plane is 500 km / hr
