356. Walking 6/7th of his usual speed, a man is 12 minutes too late. What is the usual time taken by him to cover that distance?

A. 1 hr 42 min
B. 1 hr
C. 2 hr
D. 1 hr 12 min
✅ The correct answer is option D. 1 hr 12 min.
New speed = 6/7 of usual speed

Speed and time are inversely proportional.

Hence new time = 7/6 of usual time

Hence, 7/6 of usual time – usual time = 12 minutes

=> 1/6 of usual time = 12 minutes

=> usual time = 12 x 6 = 72 minutes

= 1 hour 12 minutes
