    D 2 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the actual speed of Ramesh be β€˜s’ km/hr. And, actual time taken by him to reach his destination is β€˜t’ hours. So, total distance covered by Ramesh in β€˜t’ hours = {s Γ— t} km --------- (1) Also, Distance covered by Ramesh while travelling at 50% less speed = 50% of s Γ— (t + 5) = 0.5 Γ— s Γ— (t + 5) km --------- (2) From equation (1) and (2), we have s Γ— t = (1/2) Γ— s Γ— (t + 5) Or, 2st = st + 5s Or, st = 5s So, t = 5 So, required time = 5 hours
