Answer 1

Given:

Manoj travels from City A to City B. If Manoj drives his car at of his normal speed, then he reaches City B 36 minutes late.

Formula used:

Let t be the time taken at normal speed.

Time taken at of normal speed = 5t

Calculation:

5t - t = 36

⇒ 4t = 36

⇒ t = 9

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
