Question

the plane got delayed by half an hour to reach the destination 1500 km away in time the speed of plane was increased by 250 km per hour then the usual speed find the usual speed of the plane

Answer 1

Let the usual speed of the plane be x km/hr.

Increased speed of the plane = (x + 250) km/hr

Time taken to reach the destination at usual speed,








Thus , the usual speed of the plane is 750 km/hr .

Hope it's help uh..
Thank-you.

Answer 2

Solution :-

Let the original speed of train be x km/hr

New speed = (x + 250) km/hr

We know that,

Time = Distance / Speed

Given : A plane left 30 minutes or 1/2 hours later than the scheduled time.

According to the question,

=> 1500/x - 1500/(x + 250) = 1/2

=> (1500x + 37500 - 1500x)/x(x + 250) = 1/2

=> 2(37500) = x(x + 250)

=> 75000 = x² + 250x

=> x² + 250x - 75000 = 0

=> x² + 1000x - 750x - 75000 = 0

=> x(x + 1000) - 750(x + 1000) = 0

=> (x - 750) (x + 1000) = 0

=> x = 750 or x = - 1000

∴ x ≠ - 1000 (Because speed can't be negative)

Hence,

Its usual speed = 750 km/hr
