in a flight of 600 km , an aircraft was slowed down due to bad weather . its average speed for the trip was reduced by 200 km / hr and the time of flight increased by 30 minutes . the duration of the flight is :
"let the duration of the flight be x hours then 600 / x - 600 / x ( 1 / 2 ) = 200 = 600 / x - 1200 / 2 x + 1 = 200 = x ( 2 x + 1 ) = 3 = 2 xsquare + x - 3 = 0 = ( 2 x + 3 ) ( x - 1 ) = 0 = x = 1 hr ( neglecting the - ve value of x ) answer : option a"
divide(600, divide(multiply(200, 30), const_10))
