Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Assume that the person would have covered x km if travelled at 10 km/hr
$MF#%\Rightarrow \text{Speed = }\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{x}{10}\text{.....(Equation1)}$MF#%
Give that the person would have covered (x + 20) km if travelled at 14 km/hr$MF#%\Rightarrow \text{Speed = }\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{(x+20)}{14}\text{.....(Equation2)}$MF#%
From Equations 1 and 2,$MF#%\begin{align}
&\dfrac{x}{10} = \dfrac{(x+20)}{14}\\\\
&14x = 10x + 200\\\\
&4x = 200\\\\
&x = \dfrac{200}{4} = 50
\end{align} $MF#%
