# Easy Time, Speed & Distance Solved QuestionAptitude Discussion

 Q. Walking at 3/4 of his usual place, a man reaches his office 20 minute late. Find his usual time?
 ✖ A. 2 hr ✔ B. 1 hr ✖ C. 3 hr ✖ D. 1.5 hr

Solution:
Option(B) is correct

Let the original speed be $S$ and time be $T$

If new speed = $S\times \dfrac{3}{4}$, then new time would be $T\times \dfrac{4}{3}$ ($D = ST$ = Constant).

Given,

$\dfrac{3T}{4}-T=\dfrac{20T}{3}$

$⇒ T=60$ minutes
1 hour

Can you specify which part is not clear to you?

In question read the word 'place' as 'speed' as word 'place' is wrongly written over there and the question will be crystal clear to you

Alternate solution:

$s=\dfrac{d}{t}$ So $d=st$ ..........(1)

New speed $=\dfrac{3s}{4}$

New time $= t+20$

So, $d=\dfrac{3s}{4}×(t+20)$ .......(2)

Comparing (1) and (2),

We get, $t = \textbf{60 minutes}$ i.e. 1 hour
