Correct Answer: 27
Solution :
Given: A racing car going at an average speed of 108 km/hr takes 15 minutes to complete a lap on a racing track.
So, the distance travelled by the racing car in 15 minutes = speed × time = $108×\frac{15}{60}=27$ km
To complete the lap in 12 minutes, the speed will be $\frac{27}{\frac{1}{5}}=135$ km/hr
So, it should increase the speed by (135 – 108) = 27 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 27.
