Question

Time taken for a journey is 50 minutes at 48 km/h speed. What should be the speed, if the journey time is reduced by 10

Answer 1

Answer :

60 km/h

Explanation :

Time taken for a journey = 50 minutes

To convert minutes to hour, divide by 60

= 50÷60

=5/6 hours

Speed of the vehicle = 48 km/h

Distance = Speed × Time

= 48 × 5/6

= 40 km

We are required to find the speed if the journey time is reduced by 10 minutes.

= 50 - 10

= 40 minutes

After converting to hours -

= 2/3 hours.

Given -

• Time - 2/3 hrs
• Distance - 40 km

To find -

• Speed

Speed = Distance/Time

= 40/2/3

= 40 × 3/2

= 60 km/h
