A) 48 kmph B) 36 kmph
C) 24 kmph D) 20 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 48 kmph

Explanation:

Let the initial speed of Akhil be '4p' kmph

Then speed after decrease in speed = '3p' kmph

We know that, 

Change in speed == Change in time

According to the given data,

243p - 244p = 35 - 2560=> p = 12

 

Hence, the initial speed of Akhil = 4p = 4 x 12 = 48 kmph.
