Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : 28

Calculation:

We can tabulate the given information as follows:

  Time (in hours) Speed (in km/h)
Initially t (assume) 40
Finally t + (6/60) 35

Hence, we obtain the distance as:

40t = 35 × [t + (6/60)]

⇒ 5t = 7/2

⇒ t = 42 minutes

So, the total distance = 40 × (42/60) = 28 km

one-thirds of her usual time = 42/3 = 14 minutes

remaining distance = 28/3 km

To reach the office in the usual time, let the required speed be v km/h

⇒ (14/60) + (8/60) + (28/3v) = 42/60

∴ v = 28 km/h
