A boy is running at a speed of pp km/h to cover a distance of 1 km but due to slippery ground his speed is reduced by qq km/h (p>qp > q). If he takes rr hours to cover the distance, which of the following condition is true:

Solution

Correct Option: 1

Effective speed = (pq)(p - q) km/h. Time = Distance / Speed = 1/(pq)1/(p-q) hours. So r=1/(pq)r = 1/(p-q), which means 1/r=(pq)1/r = (p - q).
