A car travels 50% faster than a bike. Both start at the same time from A to B. The car reaches 25 minutes earlier than the bike. If the distance from A to B is 100 km, find the speed of the bike.

A. 120 km
B. 100 km
C. 80 km
D. 75 km

Let the speed of the bike be x kmph. Then the speed of the car will be 3x/2 kmph. Time taken by the bike
t1 = 100/x Time taken by the bike
t2 = 100/(3x/2) t1 – t2 = 25/60 (100/x) – (100/(3x/2)) = 5/12 Solving the equation, x = 80 kmph

Correct Answer: C. 80 km ✔
