Answer» Given: Late = 30 min Distance = 1500 km Speed increase = 100 km / hr To find: The usual speed. Solution: By formula, Speed = Distance / Time Since the time is unknown, Consider x for time, Speed original = 1500 / x Time taken = ( x - 1 / 2 ) Therefore, Substituting the value of x, Speed new = 1500 / (x - 1/2) Speed New - Speed original = 100 ( 1500 / ( x - 1 / 2 ) ) - ( 1500 / x ) = 100 150 ( ( 10 / x - 1 / 2 ) - 10 / x = 100 30 x -30 x +15 = 2x^2 - x 15 = 2x^2 - x 2x^2 - x -15 = 0 Solving, x = -5/2 x = 3 As time cannot be negative, The usual time taken by the plane is 3 hr Speed original = ( 1500 / 3 ) = 500 km / hr Hence, the usual speed of the plane is 500 km / hr |
