उत्तर

Meenakshee cycles to her school at an average speed of 12 km/h and takes 20 minutes to reach her school. If she wants to reach her school in 12 minutes, her average speed should be 20 km/h.

Explanation:

Given, speed of cycle = 12 km/h

Time taken by Meenakshee through cycle = 20 min

Then, total distance cover = `(12 xx 20)/60` = 4 km  ...[∵ Distance = Time × Speed]

If Meeanakshee want to reach her school in 12 min, then her cycle speed should be `4/(12/60)` i.e. 20 km/h.  ...`[because "Speed" = "Distance"/"Time"]`

Hence, 20 km/h
