      Question

      If a person walks 20% more than of his usual speed,

      reaches his distance 90 minutes before. If the destination is 531 km away, then the usual speed of a person is (in km/hr)?
      A 51 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 58 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 84 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 66 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 59 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the usual speed be x km/hr New speed = 120% of x = 6x/5 km/hr Distance = 531 km According to the question 531/x – 531/(6x/5) = 90/60 531 x [(6 – 5)/5x] = 3/2 Therefore, x = 531 x (1/5) x (2/3) = 59 km/hr
