Due to inclement weather, an air plane reduced its speed by 300 km/hr, and reached the destination of 1200 km late by 2hrs. Then the schedule duration of the flight was
-
- 1 hour
- 1.5 hours
- 2 hours
- 2.5 hours
Correct Option: C
Let the original speed of aeroplane be x kmph.
According to the question,
− | = 2 | ||
x − 300 | x |
⇒ 1200 | = 2 | |||
x(x − 300) |
⇒ x (x – 300) = | |
2 |
⇒ x (x – 300) = 600 × 300
⇒ x (x – 300) = 600 (600 – 300)
⇒ x = 600 kmph.
∴ Scheduled duration of flight = | = 2 hours | |
600 |
