Usual time = x minutes
New time = 4x minutes 3 ∵ Speed ∝ 1 Time
According to the question,4x − x = 20 3 ⇒ x = 20 3
⇒ x = 60 minutes i.e. 1 hour.Correct Option: A
Usual time = x minutes
New time = 4x minutes 3 ∵ Speed ∝ 1 Time

Let the total distance be x km.
Time = Distance Speed
According to the question,10 + 20 + x − 30 = 4 35 6 16 3 60 = 4 7 12 ⇒ 5 + 5 + x − 10 = 55 3 4 3 12 ⇒ x + 5 + 5 − 10 = 55 3 3 4 12 ⇒ x + 20 + 15 − 120 = 55 3 12 12 ⇒ x − 85 = 55 3 12 12 ⇒ x = 85 + 55 = 140 3 12 12 12 ⇒ x = 140 × 3 = 35 km. 12 Correct Option: B

2 hours 45 minutes
= 2 + 45 hours 60 = 2 + 3 hours 4 = 11 hours 4
∴ Distance = Speed × Time= 4 × 11 = 11 km. 4
∴ Time taken in covering 11 km at 16.5 kmph= 11 hour 16.5 = 11 × 10 × 60 minutes 165
= 40 minutesCorrect Option: C
2 hours 45 minutes
= 2 + 45 hours 60 = 2 + 3 hours 4 = 11 hours 4
∴ Distance = Speed × Time= 4 × 11 = 11 km. 4
∴ Time taken in covering 11 km at 16.5 kmph= 11 hour 16.5 = 11 × 10 × 60 minutes 165
= 40 minutes

Time taken by C = t hours
∴ Time taken by B = t hours 3 and time taken by A = t hours 6 Here, t = 3 hours 2 ∴ Required time taken by A = 3 hour 2 6 = 1 hour 4 = 1 × 60 minutes 4
= 15 minutesCorrect Option: A
Time taken by C = t hours
∴ Time taken by B = t hours 3 and time taken by A = t hours 6 Here, t = 3 hours 2 ∴ Required time taken by A = 3 hour 2 6 = 1 hour 4 = 1 × 60 minutes 4
= 15 minutes
