By Assuming a as speed of aircraft So reduced speed be -:
DURATION OF ORIGINAL SPEED BE -(i)
REDUCED SPEED BE.(ii)
600 - 600 =1/2
a-200 a
=>After making denominator same we get
120000 = 1
a²-200a 2
=>
a²-200a-240000=0
Now factorize this
So,
a²-600a+400a-240000
(a-600) (a+400)
so a=600,-400
=> a =600 has speed cant be in negative
SO FROM
=>( 600/a)hr
=>(600/600)hr
=>1hr
this will help you DONT FORGET TO
