Description : A van travels from namakkal to Madurai at a constant speed. If its speed were increased by 40km/hr it would have taken 1 hr lesser to cover the distance. It would have taken further 45 mins lesser if the speed ... by 40km/hr. what is distance between the 2 cities. a) 1680 b) B1660 c) 1670 d) 1675

Last Answer : A Let distance = x km Usual rate = y km/hr Then x/y - x/(y+40) =1 X(y+40) / y(y+40) = 1 Xy+40x - xy = y(y+40) 40x = y(y+40) ---------->1 x/y - x/y+80 = 7/4 x(y+80) - xy / y(y+ ... (y+80) / y(y+40) 8(y+40) = 7y + 560 8y +320 = 7y+560 Y=240 Substitute y value in 1 40x = 240*280 X=1680 km
