Running at 5/4 of his usual speed, an athlete improves his timing by 5 minutes. The time he usually takes to run the same distance is:

  • 130 min.
  • 228 min.
  • 325 min.
  • 423 min.
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
When the athlete walks at 5/4 of his usual speed then he takes 4/5 of his usual time (As Speed ∝ (1/Time)). and he saves 5 minutes.
→ Usual time - (4/5)*usual time = 5 minutes;
→( 1/5 )* Usual time = 5 minutes;
Usual time = 25 minutes.
