Walking at 3/5 of his typical pace, a technician reaches his field assignment 16 minutes late. Find his typical baseline time.
A. 28 minutes
B. 24 minutes
C. 26 minutes
D. 22 minutes
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
New speed = 3/5 of normal speed => New time = 5/3 of normal time. Difference = 2/3 of normal time = 16 minutes. Normal baseline time = (16 * 3) / 2 = 24 minutes.
