Correct Option: D
Let Distance = D km, Speed = S km/h
| Time = | Distance |
| Speed |
| 40 = | Distance | .... (1) |
| Speed |
After reducing speed,
| Distance = Distance – 5 km, Speed = S × | 14 | km/h |
| 15 |
| Time = | Distance |
| Speed |
| 40 = | (Distance – 5) | .... (2) | |
| Speed × | 14 | ||
| 15 | |||
After solving equation 1 and 2
| Distance | = | (Distance – 5) | |
| Speed | Speed × | 14 | |
| 15 | |||
14 Distance = 15 (Distance – 5)
14 Distance = 15 Distance – 75
Distance = 75 km.
Hence, option D is correct.
