A train running at $$\frac{7}{11}$$ of its own speed reached a place in 22 hours. How much time could be saved if the train would have run at its own speed ?

A. 7 hr

B. 8 hr

C. 14 hr

D. 16 hr

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

New speed = $$\frac{7}{11}$$ of usual speed
∴ New time = $$\frac{11}{7}$$ of usual time
So, $$\frac{11}{7}$$ of usual time = 22 hrs
⇒ Usual time :
= $$\frac{22 × 7}{11}$$
= 14 hrs
Hence, time saved = (22 - 14) = 8 hrs
