Correct Answer: $2 \mathrm{~hours}$


Solution : Given: A car covers a particular distance in 3 hours with a speed of 54 km/hr.
The total distance = speed × time = (54 × 3) = 162 km
Now, the speed is increased by 27 km/hr,
So, the new speed = (54 + 27) = 81 km/hr
$\therefore$ Required time to cover the same distance = $\frac{162}{81}$ = $2 \mathrm{~hours}$
Hence, the correct answer is $2 \mathrm{~hours}$.
