A bus covers a distance of 10 km in 12 minutes. If its speed is decreased by 25 km/h, then the time (in minutes) taken by the bus to cover the same distance is:
A bus covers a distance of 10 km in 12 minutes.
Speed =Â $$\frac{10}{\frac{12}{60}}$$
=Â $$\frac{10}{\frac{1}{5}}$$
= 50 km/h
If its speed is decreased by 25 km/h.Â
Time taken by the bus to cover the same distance =Â $$\frac{10}{50-25}$$
=Â $$\frac{10}{25}$$
= 0.4 hour
=Â $$0.4\times60$$ minutes
= 24Â minutes
