Question 5:

In a flight of 600 km an aircraft was slowed due to bad weather. Its average speed for the trip was reduced by 200km/hr and time of flight increased by 30 minutes. Find the original duration of flight.     [CBSE  2020]

Solution :

Let the actual speed of flight = ‘x’  km/h

So, time taken by the flight at actual speed = \frac{600}{x} hr

Reduse speed of the flight = (x – 200) km/h

So, time taken by the flight at the Reduse speed =\frac{600}{(x - 200)} hr

According to the given condition

\Rightarrow \dfrac{600}{x - 200} - \dfrac{360}{x} = \frac{30}{60}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{600[x - (x - 200)]}{x(x - 200)} = \frac{1}{2}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{600\times 200}{x(x - 200)} = \frac{1}{2}

⇒  120000×2 = x(x – 200)

⇒  x² – 200 x – 240000 = 0

⇒  x² – 600 x + 400 x – 240000 = 0

⇒  x(x – 600) + 400(x – 600) =0

⇒  (x – 600 )(x + 400) = 0

⇒   x = 600,  – 400(Speed of flight can not be negative)

Hence, speed of flight = 600 km/h
