Answer» Total journey distance = 480 km Ideal average speed = 80 kmph Planned or time taken in ideal condition = 480/80 = 6 hour = 360 minutes For actual time, Distance in which average speed of 80 kmph is maintained, Distance covered before break = 62.5% of 480 = (5/8) × 480 = 300 km Time taken to COVER this distance = 300/80 = 3.75 hour = 225 minutes After the break, Distance need to be covered = 480 - 300 = 180 km Time required to cover the distance = 180/60 = 3 hour = 180 minutes Actual time of journey = 225 + 180 + 30 = 435 minutes ∴ DIFFERENCE in time = 435 - 360 = 75 min |
