Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 12 min GIVEN: Ram walks at a speed of 10 km/h. Today the day was very hot so walked at 2/5th of his average speed. He arrived at his school 18 minutes late. FORMULA USED: Time = Distance/Speed CALCULATION: Suppose the distance between his school and home = X km Decreased speed = 10 × 2/5 = 4 kmph According to the question: X/4 - X/10 = 18/60 = 3/10 ⇒ X = 2 km So, Usual time he takes to cover the distance between his school and home = 2/(10/60) = 12 min |
