Narayan walking at a speed of 20 km/h reaches his college 10 minutes late. Next time he increases his speed by 5 km/h, but finds that he is still late by 4 minutes. What is the distance of his college from his house?

  • 110 km
  • 26 km
  • 312 km
  • 415 km
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
By increasing his speed by 25%, he will reduce his time by 20%. (This corresponds to a 6 minutes drop in his time.)
Hence, his time originally must have been 30 minutes.
Thus required distance = 20 kmph * 0.5 hours = 10 km.
