plzz tell the ans fast

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

increased speed of car = 5km/hr .....(speed 1st)

distance travelled = 240km

speed = distance travelled / time taken

= 240 / 40

= 6

thus,

speed = 6km/hr .....(speed 2nd)

.

.

.

therefore original speed

= speed 2nd - speed 1st

= 6-5

= 1

Ans. thus, the original speed of the car is 1km/hr.
