A motorist covers a distance of 39 km in 45 min by moving at a speed of x km/h for the first 15 min, then moving at double the speed for the next 20 min and then again moving at his original speed for the rest of the journey. Then, x is equal to:

(A) 31.2
(B) 36
(C) 40
(D) 52
(E) 53
Solution:

We can create the equation:

(15/60)(x) + (20/60)(2x) + (10/60)(x) = 39

x/4 + 2x/3 + x/6 = 39

Multiplying the equation by 12, we have:

3x + 8x + 2x = 12 * 39

13x = 12 * 39

x = 12 * 3 = 36

Answer: B
