1.	A car takes 5 hours to reach a destination by travelling at the speed of 60 km/hr. How long will it take when the car travels at the speed of 75 km/hr?
Answer» More the speed of car, lesser the time required. So, it is an inverse proportion. Let the required time be x hours. ⇒ 5 × 60 = 75 × x ⇒ x = \(\frac{5\,\times\,60}{75}\) = 4 hours

Answer»

More the speed of car, lesser the time required. So, it is an inverse proportion.

Let the required time be x hours.

⇒ 5 × 60 = 75 × x

⇒ x = \(\frac{5\,\times\,60}{75}\) = 4 hours
