[A]. 35
[B]. 36 2 3
[C]. 37 1 2
[D]. 40
✅ The correct answer is option D.
Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Then,
x
–
x
=
40
2y(y + 3) = 9x ….(i)
y
y + 3
60
And,
x
–
x
=
40
y(y – 2) = 3x ….(ii)
y -2
y
60
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get: x = 40.
