Q.

A Bus is running at 9/10 of its own speed reached a place in 22 hours. How much time could be saved if the bus would run at its own speed ?

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Let the original Speed be "s" kmph And the usual time be "t" hrs Given that if the bus is running at 9s/10 kmph the time is 22 hrs => [9s/10] x 22 = t x s => 99/5 = t => t = 19.8 hrs Hence, if bus runs at its own speed, the time saved = 22 - 19.8 = 2.2 hrs.
