Nilu covers a distance by walking for 6 h. While returning, his speed decreases by 2 km/h and he takes 9 h to cover the same distance. What was her speed while returning? |
A) 2 km/h
B) 5 km/h
C) 4 km/h
D) 7 km/h
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Let the speed in return journey \[=x\] |
According to the question, |
\[6\,\,(x+2)=9x\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[6x+12=9x\] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[9x-6x=12\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[3x=12\] |
\[\therefore \] \[x=\frac{12}{3}=4\,\,km/h\] |
