Question


A plane is flying 2400 km from source A to destination B. Speed of the plane is 600 km/hr and speed of the wind tailing it is 40 km/hr. How many hours after take off would it be faster to go to B than to return to A in case of an emergency


Options:
A .   1.65 hours
B .   1.5 hours
C .   1.75 hours
D .   2 hours
E .   2016
Answer: Option D
:
D

From A to B speed of flight = 640 km/hr , while for the reverse it is = 560 km/hr.
Since, ‘x’ is the distance from A, hence, as per the question:
x560(2400x)640
x1120  km.


  Minimum such distance  = 1120 km and time taken to cover 1120 km =1120560=2 hr.
