Question : A car can cover a certain distance in $4\frac{1}{2}$ hours. If the speed increases by 5 km/hr, it would take $\frac{1}{2}$ hour less to cover the same distance. Find the slower speed of the car.
Option 1: 50 km/hr
Option 2: 40 km/hr
Option 3: 45 km/hr
Option 4: 60 km/hr
Correct Answer: 40 km/hr
Solution : Ratio of time = $\frac{9}{2}:(\frac{9}{2}-\frac{1}{2})=\frac{9}{2}:4=9:8$ Ratio of speed = 8 : 9 Let the slower speed be 8k and the increased speed be 9k. The speed of the car increased by 5 km/hr. So, 9k – 8k = 5 ⇒ k = 5 $\therefore$ Slower speed of car = 8 × 5 = 40 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 40 km/hr.

Question : A car covers a particular distance in 3 hours with a speed of 54 km/hr. If the speed is increased by 27 km/hr, the time taken by the car to cover the same distance will be:
Question : A car completed a journey of 400 km in $12\frac{1}{2}$ hours. The first $\frac{3}{4}$th of the journey was done at 30 km/hr. Calculate the speed for the rest of the journey.
Question : A bus starts running with an initial speed of 33 km/hr and its speed increases every hour by a certain amount. If it takes 7 hours to cover a distance of 315 km, what will be the hourly increment (in km/hr) in the speed of the bus?
Question : A man covers a certain distance by bike. If he covers 25% of the distance at the speed of 25 km/hr, 50% of the distance at the speed of 50 km/hr and the remaining distance at the speed of 12.5 km/hr, find his average speed over the whole journey.
Question : A bus moving at 40 km/hr covers a distance in 6 hours 15 minutes. If it travels the same distance at 50 km/hr, how long will it take to cover the distance?
