A car covers a certain distance at 50 km/h. If the speed is increased to 75 km/h, it arrives 20 minutes earlier. Find the distance.
A. 55 km
B. 50 km
C. 45 km
D. 60 km
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Time difference = 20 minutes = 20/60 = 1/3 hour. Let distance be d. d / 50 - d / 75 = 1/3 => (3d - 2d) / 150 = 1/3 => d / 150 = 1/3 => d = 50 km.
