Xavier starts from P towards Q at a speed of 50 kmph and after every 12 mins increases his speed by 10 kmph. If the distance between P and Q is 52km, then how much time does he take to cover the distance?  Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 40 B) 60 C) 48 D) 70 E) 80

Rationale: first 12 min = 50 * 12 / 60 = 10 km 2 nd 12 min = 60 * 12 / 60 = 12 km 3 rd 12 min = 70 * 12 / 60 = 14 km 4 th 12 min = 80 * 12 / 60 = 16 km total time 12.4 = 48 min c
