    If a car runs at 30 km/hr, it reaches its destination

    late by 14 minutes but if runs at 40 km/hr it is late by 9 minutes. What is the correct time for the journey?
    A 10 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 12 minutes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance = Difference in time x (S1 x S2)/(S1 – S2) D = [14 – 9]/60 x {(40 x 30)/[40 – 30]} => (5/60) x (40 x 30)/10 => 10 km Time, T = D/S (take any one of the speed) => 10/30 = 10/30 x 60 = 20 minutes Then, correct time is 20 – 14 = 6 minutes
