Step-by-step explanation:
Distance given =150km
Let the forward speed be x and the return speed will be x+10
We know that, Time=
speed
Distance
∴
x150
= x+10150
+2.5
⇒ 150(x+10)−150x=2.5×x(x+10)
⇒ 150x+1500−150x=2.5x 2 +25x
⇒ 2.5x 2+25x−1500=0
⇒ 25x 2+250x−15000=0
⇒ x 2+10x−600=0
⇒ x 2
+30x−20x−600=0
⇒ x(x+30)−20(x+30)=0
⇒ (x+30)(x−20)=0
The value of cannot be negative.
∴ Forward speed will be 20km/hr
⇒ Return speed =20+10=30km/hr
⇒ The required product =20×30=600km/hr
