  1. A train running at
    7
    its own speed reached a place
    11
    in 22 hours. How much time could be saved if the train would run at its own speed?
    1. 14 hours
    2. 7 hours
    3. 8 hours
    4. 16 hours
Correct Option: C

Since the train runs at 7/11 of its own speed, the time it takes is 11/7 of its usual speed.
Let the usual time taken be t hours.

Then we can write,
11
t = 22
7

∴ t =
22 × 7
= 14 hours
11

Hence, time saved
= 22 – 14 = 8 hours
