SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 27 June 2023 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q54

A bus is running at a speed of 60 km/h to cover a distance in 50 min. To reduce the time of the journey to 20 min, at what speed (in km/h) should the bus run?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 150.

Time (T1) = 50 min = 5/6 hours

New time (T2) = 20 min = 1/3 hours

Distance = 60 × (5/6) = 50 km

New speed = 50/(1/3) = 150 km/h
