Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 52 km/h Given: Total distance travelled = 78km Time = 3 hours 30 minutes = 3 + 30/60 = 7/2 hours Formula: Speed = Distance/time Calculation: Let speed of Vaibhav and speed of Vignesh be a kmph and (91 - a) kmph respectively. ⇒ 78/a + 78/(91 - a) = 7/2 ⇒ 7098 - 78a + 78a = 7/2 × (91a - a2) ⇒ a2 - 91a + 2028 = 0 ⇒ a2 - 52a - 39a + 2028 = 0 ⇒ a(a - 52) - 39(a - 52) = 0 ⇒ (a - 52)(a - 39) = 0 a = 52 or a = 39 Vaibhav's speed is more than Vignesh, so a = 52kmph ∴ Speed of Vaibhav is 52kmph. |
