- reduced to 200 & reduced by 200 are completely different...

- Here the Distance is constant. So, let the actual time is x.
Then,
600/x-600/(x+(1/2))=200
After we solve this we will get 1hr.
So, the actual time taken for the journey is 1hr.

- Let the actual speed be x kmph. As the time taken increases by 30minutes as speed is decreased by 200kmph, so...
600/(x-200) - 600/x = 30/60
we get x= 600kmph
so, actual speed= 600kmph
therefore, actual time taken= 600/600= 1 hour - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(9)
- Ans=2hr 30 min.
actual speed is 240kmph
600/(x+200) =600/200+30/60
x=40 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(5)
- The actual time is 2hr and30 min because if it travels with a speed of 200kmph it reach 30min late by that we came to know if it travels 240kmph then it will reach 30min before that time of speed 200kmph

- Let the duration of the vechicle be x hours.
Then, 600/x - 600/ [x + (1/2)] = 200
600/x -1200/(2x + 1) = 200
x(2x + 1) = 3
2x^2 + x - 3 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1 hr. [neglecting the -ve value of x]
ans is 1hr - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
- Let the duration of the journey be x hours.
Then, 600 - 600 = 200
x x + (1/2)
600 - 1200 = 200
x 2x + 1
x(2x + 1) = 3
2x2 + x - 3 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1 hr. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- Ans: 240 km/h

- let the original speed =s,original time =t i.e s=d/t that means => s=600/t.................(1)
=> (s-200)=600/(1/2)............(2) as time 30 min in hrs
by solving these two eqtns we get original time t=1 hrs.
