Ranjeet drives his car at an average speed of 50km/hr and reaches his destination in 8 hours. Rahman covers the same distance in 5 hours. If Ranjeet increases his speed by 10km/hr and Rahmani increases his speed by 20km/hr, then what will be the difference in time taken by them to reach their destination?

Understanding Application
Tricks

Total distance = 50 × 8

= 400km

Now

After increasing speed

Ranjeet cover

= 400/60

= 6 hours 40 min

Rahman cover

= 400/80 + 20

= 400/100

= 4 hours

Hence

Time difference = 6 hours 40 min - 4 hours

= 2 hours 40 min
