A girl increase her speed to 11/5 time of his original speed. So, she reaches her school 15 minute before the usual time. What is her usual time?

Solution

Correct Option: 2

New speed is 115\frac{11}{5} times original, so new time is 511\frac{5}{11} of usual time TT. Saved time =T5T11=6T11=14=T-\frac{5T}{11}=\frac{6T}{11}=\frac{1}{4} hr, giving T=11240.458T=\frac{11}{24}\approx0.458 hr, closest to 0.45 hours.
