      Question

      A man is travelling at a speed of 60 km/h such that he

      will take 80 minutes to reach his destination. But after completing half the journey, the man took a break of 10 minutes and then continued his journey. Find the speed at which the man must cover rest of the journey to reach his destination in original time.
      A 70 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 50 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 80 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 77 km/h Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total distance to be covered = 60 × (80/60) = 80 km Time taken to cover half the distance at original speed = {(80 ÷ 2) ÷ 60} × 60 = 40 minutes Time remaining = 80 – 40 – 10 = 30 minutes Required speed = 40 ÷ 30 × 60 = 80 km/h
