Swarnabha Dey   9 years AGO

he is walking 5/6 th of his speed, i.e
Actual speed : present speed = 6 : 5
as we know speed = distance/Time
so the Time should be = 5 : 6
so , Let actual time taken is 5x
present time taken is 6x
so, 6x-5x =10
=> x=10
=>5x= 50
So the actual ime taken is 50 mins .

Narendra Jadon   9 years AGO

Let the time taken by him to cover the distance normally is T min.
Let the normal speed to reach in time is S

Distance = S x T
when he is late by 10 min his distance is :
Distance = 5/6 x S x (T+10)

Distances are equal in both cases hence equating them :
S x T = 5 / 6 x S x (T+10)
6T = 5T + 50
T = 50 min.

Let, the distance be 100
so, at velocity v km/hr time taken= 100/v
at a velocity, 5v/6 km/hr time taken= (100/(5v/6))=120/v
so, (120/v-100/v)= 1/6
v= 120 km/hr.

Let his usual speed is v. and usual time is t.

distance he travelled d=vt

at 5/6 th of his speed.. he's late by 10 min.

so (5/6)v*(t+10)=d

vt=(5/6)v*(t+10)

Let the normal speed of man be 's' and time taken be 't'. So, distance covered will be s*t. Now, the man walks with 5/6 of his usual speed, so present speed = 5/6x and time taken = t+10. So distance covered = 5/6x(t+10). Since distt is same, so xt=5/6x(t+10), solving this we get t= 50 mins.

KRISHNA CHANDRA UPADHYAY   9 years AGO

The ratio of his usual speed & present speed is 6:5
So the ratio of usual time & present time taken by
him is 5:6
We can say that in this ratio in present, he is 1 min late. But in actual question, he is 10 min late .
So simply, multiply the gap with 10 to get 10 from 1.
So the usual time & present time taken by him is 50 min & 60 min.
Hence usual time taken by him = 50 minute.
hence, option (2) is correct.
