3 3 hours 4 -
4 1 hours 2
Correct Option: C
3/5 of usual speed will take 5/3 of usual time.
[∵ time & speed are inversely proportional]
∴ | of usual time | |
3 |
= usual time + | |
2 |
⇒ | of usual time = | ⇒ usual time | ||
3 | 2 |
= | × | = | = 3 | hours. | ||||
2 | 2 | 4 | 4 |
Second Method :
Here, A = 3, B = 5, t = 2 | |
2 |
Usual time = | × time | |
Diff. of A and B |
= | × 2 | ||
5 − 3 | 2 |
= | × | ||
2 | 2 |
= | = 3 | hours | ||
4 | 4 |
