Correct Answer: 67.5 minutes


Solution : A bus covers a distance of 45 km in 45 minutes.
Speed of the bus $= \frac{45}{45}×60=60$ km/hr
Its speed is decreased by 20 km/hr.
$\therefore$ New speed = 60 – 20 = 40 km/hr
1 hour = 60 minutes
$\therefore$ New time to cover same distance $= \frac{60}{40}×45=\frac{135}{2}=67.5$ minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 67.5 minutes.
