This question has been taken from Book:- ML aggarwal, Avichal publication, class10th, quadratic equation in one variable, chapter 5, exercise 5.5
This is an important ques and asked in 2016
A bus covers a distance of 240 km at a uniform speed. Due to heavy rain, its speed gets reduced by 10 km/h and as such it takes two hours longer to cover the total distance. Assuming the uniform speed to be ‘x’ km/h, form an equation and solve it to evaluate x.
Question no. 25, ML Aggarwal, chapter 5, exercise 5.5, quadratic equation in one variable, ICSE board,
Solution:
Given that:-
Bus covers a Distance = 240 km
Let speed of a bus = x km/hr
According to question
