If a person travels in a car at a speed of 36 km/hour, then he will reach his destination on time. He covers half the journey in (4/5)th time. What should be his speed for the remaining part of the journey so that he reaches his destination on time?यदि कोई व्यक्ति 36 किमी/घंटे की गति से एक कार से यात्रा करता है, तो वह अपने गंतव्य पर समय से पहुँचेगा। वह अपनी आधी यात्रा (4/5)वें समय में तय करता है। अपने गंतव्य पर समय से पहुँचने के लिए यात्रा के शेष भाग को तय करने में उसकी गति कितनी होनी चाहिए?

Correct answer: C. 90 km/hour90 किमी/घंटे
Explanation
Let distance = D and scheduled time T = D/36. Half the distance takes 4T/5, so the other half (D/2) must be covered in T/5. Speed = (D/2) ÷ (D/180) = 90 km/h, i.e. 90 km/hour.मान लीजिए दूरी = D और निर्धारित समय T = D/36। आधी दूरी में 4T/5 समय लगा, अतः शेष आधी दूरी (D/2) T/5 में तय करनी है। गति = (D/2) ÷ (D/180) = 90 किमी/घंटे, अर्थात् 90 किमी/घंटे।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
