Correct Answer :

D. $40$

Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.

T h e n, \frac{x}{y} - \frac{x}{y + 3} = \frac{40}{60} \Rightarrow 2 y (y + 3) = 9 x . . . . (i)

A n d, \frac{x}{y - 2} - \frac{x}{y} = \frac{40}{60} \Rightarrow y (y - 2) = 3 x . . . . (i i)

On dividing (i) by (ii), we get: x = 40.
