  1. Shri X goes to his office by scooter at a speed of 30km/h and reaches 6 minutes earlier. If he goes at a speed of 24 km/h, he reaches 5 minutes late. The distance of his office is
    1. 20 km
    2. 21 km
    3. 22 km
    4. 24 km
Correct Option: C

Let the distance of office be x km.

∴  
x
x
=
11
243060

⇒ 
5x − 4x
=
11
12060

⇒ 
x
=
11
12060

⇒  x =
11
× 120 = 22 km.
60


Second Methdod :
Here, S1 = 24, t1 = 5
S2 = 30, t2 = 6
Distance =
(S1 ×S2)(t1 + t2)
S2 −S1

=
24 × 30(5 + 6)
30 − 24

=
720 × 11
= 22 km
6 × 60
