Correct Answer: 63 minutes
Solution : Given: If a man travels at 12.5 percent less speed than his usual speed, then he will reach 9 minutes late. Here, 12.5% is equivalent to 9 minutes So, 100% is equivalent to $\frac{9×100}{12.5}$ = 72 minutes Therefore, the usual time taken by him = (72 – 9) = 63 minutes Hence, the correct answer is 63 minutes.
