Then he realises that he will not reach on time, so he increases the speed when he is coming back from home. Find the new speed in which he met his girlfriend on time. Correct Answer 150 km/h
Given:
Original speed of bike = 60 km/h
Distance = 300 km
Formula used:
Speed = Distance/Time
Concept:
Time left = Total Time – Time wasted
New Speed = Total distance/Time left
Calculation:
Time Taken = Distance/Time
Time Taken = 300/60
Time Taken = 5 Hour
Time wasted when he goes back because he forgets the purse is 60 min and time wasted when he was going back and when he met with the police is 2 Hour.
Total Time wasted = 1 + 2 = 3 Hour
Time Left = Total Time – Time wasted
Time Left = 5 – 3 Hour
Time Left = 2 Hour
Distance need to travel is 300 km
New Speed = Distance/Time Left
New Speed = 300/2
New Speed = 150 km/h
