A car travels 50% faster than a bike. Both start at the same time from A to B. The car reaches 25 minutes earlier than the bike. If the distance from A to B is 100 km, find the speed of the bike.

  • 1120 km
  • 2100 km
  • 380 km
  • 475 km
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
P __________100km__________Q.
Let car takes time T hours to reach destination. So,
Bike will take (T+(25/60)).
Let speed of the bike = S kmph.
Speed of Car = S + 50% of S = 3S/2 kmph
For the both the case distance is constant. And when distance remain constant then time is inversely propositional to speed (As ST + D).
So,
(3S2)(S)={T+(512)}T3T=2T+1012T=1012hoursSpeedofthecar3S2=100(1012)3S2=120S=80kmphSpeedofthebike=80kmph
