Answer : 3. "2.2 hrs"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 2.2 hrs Explanation: Let the original Speed be "s" kmphAnd the usual time be "t" hrsGiven that if the bus is running at 9s/10 kmph the time is 22 hrs=> [9s/10] x 22 = t x s=> 99/5 = t => t = 19.8 hrs Hence, if bus runs at its own speed, the time saved = 22 - 19.8 = 2.2 hrs.

Answer : 3. "40"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 40 Explanation: Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)On dividing (i) by (ii), we get: x = 40 km.
