GRE QUESTION ON DEMAND
A bus trip of 450 miles would have taken 1 hour less if the average speed S for the trip had been greater by 5 miles per hour. What was the average speed S, in miles per hour, for the trip? (A) 10 (B) 40 (C) 45 (D) 50 (E) 55 ASKED BY ASMITA
even i got it... its 45. solution.. going thru choices.. starting from d middle one..i.e. 45 when d speed will be 45 than it will take 10 hours, after increasing speed by 5 i.e. 50(45+5), it will take 9 hours. and hence it takes 1 hour less..
Excuse, that I can not participate now in discussion - it is very occupied. But I will return - I will necessarily write that I think on this question.
i solved the qn ans i got is 45
ReplyDeleteeven i got it... its 45.
ReplyDeletesolution..
going thru choices..
starting from d middle one..i.e. 45
when d speed will be 45 than it will take 10 hours,
after increasing speed by 5 i.e. 50(45+5), it will take 9 hours.
and hence it takes 1 hour less..
ya the ans is 45
ReplyDeletesoln...
make an equation...
time taken by bus to travel 450 miles at a speed of s is 450/s and at a speed of s+5 is 450/(s+5)
so the equation is
450/s=450/(s+5)+1
solving this eqn we wil get 45...
simply by going 4 formula. that is s=d/t. so,450/t-450/t-1=5. by solving this we get t=10. put it in original eq.s=450/10. s=45.

ReplyDeleteans is 45
ReplyDeletewithout solving equation try each number from the answer choices. The answer is 45.
