Question 72

A man walking with ¾ of his usual speed,reaches office 20 minutes late. His usual time is

Solution

We know, $$s_{1}\ t_{1} = s_{2}\ t_{2}$$

$$s_{1}\ t_{1} = (\frac{3}{4}) s_{1}\ (t_{1} + 20)$$

$$t_{1} = (\frac{3}{4}) (t_{1} + 20)$$

$$4 t_{1} = (3 t_{1} + 60)$$

$$t_{1} = 60$$ minutes

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
