Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 18 minutes.

Understading/Application

18 km is covered in 12 minutes = 12/60 = 0.2 hours

Speed = 18/0.2 = 90 km/hr

If speed is decreased by 30 km/hr

New speed = 60 km/hr

Time taken to cover 18 km = 18/60 = 0.3 hours = 0.3 × 60 = 18 minutes
