Let ideal time taken = $$t$$ hours

Also, speed is inversely proportional to time.

=> $$\frac{20}{24}=\frac{t-\frac{7.5}{60}}{t+\frac{7.5}{60}}$$

=> $$5t+\frac{7.5}{12}=6t-\frac{7.5}{10}$$

=> $$6t-5t=\frac{7.5}{12}+\frac{7.5}{10}$$

=> $$t=\frac{37.5+45}{60}=\frac{82.5}{60}$$

$$\therefore$$ Distance = speed $$\times$$ time

= $$20\times(\frac{82.5}{60}+\frac{7.5}{60})$$

= $$\frac{90}{3}=30$$ km

=> Ans - (B)
