      Question

      The speed of a car is 15% more than that of a bike. Both

      of them start from a same point. After travelling for 8 hours, the speed of the bike is increased by 30%. After 10 hours from starting, the car was 27 km ahead of the bike. Find the initial speed of the bike.
      A 35 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 40 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 45 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 30 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the initial speed of the bike be β€˜x’ km/hr Therefore, speed of the car = 1.15x km/hr According to the question, 10 Γ— 1.15x – (8x + 2 Γ— 1.3x) = 27 => 11.5x – 10.6x = 27 => x = 27/0.9 = 30 km/hr
