A bus travels $\frac{2}{5}$ of a total journey at its usual speed. The remaining distance was covered by bus at $\frac{6}{7}$ of its usual speed. Due to slow speed it reaches its destination 50 minutes late. If the total distance is 200 kms, then what is the usual speed (in km/hr) of bus?
  • A20.57
  • B24
  • C28
  • D26.52

let usual speed be x km/hr.

200/x-80/x-120*7/6x= -50/60

By solving

x=24 km/hr

200/x - 80/x - 120 * 7/6x = 50/60
