A magician can reach his auditorium in 30 hours. If he reduces his speed by 1/15th, he goes 10 km less in that time. Find his speed
Options
- 10 kmph
- 12 kmph
- 15 kmph
- 20 kmph
CORRECT ANSWER : 15 kmph
Discussion Board
Make equation first
Since, D1 - D2 = 10km. (Due to difference in speed)
Therefore, S*T - S*T =10 km
Let speed =x
30x - 30(x-x/15)=10km
30x-30(15x-x/15)=10
30x-2(14x)=10
30x-28x =10
2x =10
Therefore,x=5kmph

answer breakup
s = d/t ----------1
(14/15)s = d-10/t ----------- 2
substitute 1 in 2 or divide 1 by 2, both ways we get
14d = 15(d -10)
d = 150
s = 150/30 = 5

solution
Ratio of speed = 15 : 14
Ratio of time = 14 : 15
14 = 28 hrs
15 = 30 hrs
So, in 2 hrs it travels 10 kms
Speed = 10/2 = 5 km/hr
