Correct Answer: 1 hour 30 minutes
Solution : Given: Time = 7.5 hr Speed = 72 km/hr Distance = Time × Speed Distance between two towns = 7.5 × 72 = 540 km New speed = 72 + $\frac{25}{100}$ × 72 = 90 km/hr Time taken = $\frac{540}{90}$ = 6 hours $\therefore$ Time saved = 7.5 hr – 6 hr = 1.5 hours = 1 hour and 30 minutes Hence, the correct answer is 1 hour 30 minutes.
