SSC GD Const 2025 (English) - 12 Feb 2025 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

Zakie travels from city A to city B. If Zakir drives his car at 383\over8 of his usual speed, he takes 45 minutes more than his usual time. What is his usual time in minutes?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 27.

Speed = Distance/time

usual speed : Present speed = 8 : 3

usual time : Present time = 3 : 8

Difference in time = (8 - 3) = 45 min

5 = 45 min

So, usual time = (45/5) × 3 = 27 min
