The speed of father is 24 km/h (option d is the correct answer)
Given,
father picks up his child at 3:30 PM
from school
One day child left at 2:30 pm
The Speed of the child is 6km/h
they
reach home 24 min. early.
To Find,
Find the speed of father
Solution,
According to the question the speed of the child is 6km/h
let us assume that father picks his child 24/2 = 12 mins before 3:30 pm.
so, the total distance cover father is:
12 mins= distance covered by son in (60-12)= 48mins.
Now,
Let consider T = total time is taken by father
t= total time is taken by child
and,. S= speed of father
s= speed of child
We have to find the value of S = speed of father
Therefore, T/t= S/s
or, 12/48 = S/6
or, ¼= S/6
or, S= 24 km/h
Hence, The speed of father is 24 km/h
