Step-by-step explanation:
Uniform speed =x km/h
distance =240 km
time =
Speed
Distance
=
x
240
hours
Due to heavy rain speed =(x−10) km/h
Now time =
x−10
240
hours
According to question
x−10
240
−
x
240
=2
x(x−10)
240x−240(x−10)
=2
x

−10x
240x−240x+2400
=2
⇒2x

−20x−2400=0
⇒x

−10x−1200=0
x

−40x+30x−1200=0
x(x−40)+30(x−40)=0
⇒(x−40)(x+30)=0
x=40 and x=−30 (speed can not be negative)
∴ uniform speed =40 km/h
