Zakir travels from City A to City B. If Zakir drives his car at  14\frac{1}{4} of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 45 minutes late. Find the time (in minutes) that Zakir would have taken to travel from City A to City B if he drove at his normal speed.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 15.

Let normal time = T minutes

If he drives at 1/4 speed, time becomes 4T

Extra time = 4T – T = 3T

This extra time = 45 minutes

So 3T = 45

T = 15 minutes
