The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the logic presented in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two entities: a bus and a man. The bus leaves the terminal every 24 minutes, and the man meets the bus after 28 minutes. The speed of the man is given as 5 km/hr. We need to find the speed of the bus. ### Step 2: Identify the Time Difference The bus takes 24 minutes to leave the terminal, and the man meets the bus after 28 minutes. The difference in time is: \[ \text{Time taken by bus} = 24 \text{ minutes} \] \[ \text{Time taken by man} = 28 \text{ minutes} \] The difference in time is: \[ 28 \text{ minutes} - 24 \text{ minutes} = 4 \text{ minutes} \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Ratio of Times The time taken by the bus to travel a certain distance is 4 minutes, while the man takes 28 minutes to cover the same distance. Therefore, the ratio of the time taken by the bus to the time taken by the man is: \[ \text{Bus time : Man time} = 4 : 28 = 1 : 7 \] ### Step 4: Inverse Relationship Between Speed and Time Since speed and time are inversely related, we can take the inverse of the time ratio to find the speed ratio: \[ \text{Speed of Man : Speed of Bus} = 7 : 1 \] ### Step 5: Use the Speed of the Man We know the speed of the man is 5 km/hr. Let the speed of the bus be \( x \) km/hr. According to the ratio: \[ \frac{5}{x} = \frac{7}{1} \] ### Step 6: Solve for the Speed of the Bus Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 5 \cdot 1 = 7 \cdot x \] \[ 5 = 7x \] Now, solving for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{5}{7} \text{ km/hr} \] ### Step 7: Convert the Speed to km/hr To find the speed of the bus, we can rearrange the equation: \[ x = 5 \cdot \frac{1}{7} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 35 \text{ km/hr} \] ### Final Answer The speed of the bus is **35 km/hr**. ---
