SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 19/02/2018 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q8

A car travelling at an average speed of 72 km/hr takes 9 minutes to travel a certain distance. By how much should it increase its speed (in km/hr) to travel the same distance in 8 minutes?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

the correct answer is option 2 i.e. 9

Distance travelled will be the same in both the cases 

72 × 9/60 = x × 8/60

x = 81

Increase = 81 - 72 = 9 km/hr
