Solution
The correct option is B10 km.
Distance (in km.)
72
x
Time (in minute)
60
10
Let the distance be x km.
If the time taken is less, the distance covered will also be less. Therefore, it is a direct variation. 72:x=60:10 ⇒72x=6010
Applying cross multiplication, we get x=72×1060=12
Thus, the required distance will be 12 km.
