Correct Option: B
Fixed distance = x km and certain speed = y kmph (let).
Case I,
⇒ | x | + 1 = | x | --- (i)
|
y + 10 | y |
Case II,⇒ | x | + | 7 | = | x | --- (ii) |
y + 20 | 4 | y |
From equations (i) and (ii),
x | + 1 = | x | + | 7 |
y + 10 | y + 20 | 4 |
⇒ | x | − | x | = | 7 | − 1 |
y + 10 | y + 20 | 4 |
⇒ x |  | y + 20 − y − 10 |  |
(y + 10)(y + 20) |
⇒ 3 (y + 10) (y + 20) = 40 x
⇒ | 3 (y + 10) (y + 20) | = x ---(iii) |
40 |
From equation (i),
3 (y + 10) (y + 20) | + 1 |
40(y + 10) |
⇒ 3 (y +20) + 40
⇒ 3y
2+ 60y + 40 y = 3(y
2 + 30y+ 200)
⇒ 3y
2 + 100y = 3y
2 + 90y + 600
⇒ 10y = 600 ⇒ y = 60
Again from equation (i),
⇒ 6x + 420 = 7x
⇒ 7x – 6x = 420
⇒ x = 420 km.
