Correct Answer: 35 minutes
Solution : Given, A girl, walking at $\frac56$ of her usual speed, misses the bus by 7 minutes. We know, Distance covered = speed × time taken Let the usual speed and usual time to reach the bus be $v$ and $t$, respectively. ⇒ The distance of the bus from her home is $vt=\frac{5v}{6}(t+7)$ ⇒ $6t = 5t + 35$ ⇒ $t$ = 35 minutes Hence, the correct answer is 35 minutes.
