Q:

Robert is traveling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 p.m. if he travels at 10 km/hr; he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 km/hr. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 p.m. ?

A) 20 kmph B) 18 kmph
C) 12 kmph D) 16 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12 kmph

Explanation:

Let the distance traveled be x km.
Then, x/10 - x/15 = 2
3x - 2x = 60 => x = 60 km.
Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60/10 = 6 hrs.
So, Robert started 6 hours before 2. p.m. i.e., at 8 a.m.
Required speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.
