Let speed of car initially = $$5x$$ km/hr Time taken = 25 hours => Distance covered by car initially = $$25 imes 5x=125x$$ km If speed is reduced by $$(frac{1}{5})^{th}$$, new speed = $$5x-frac{1}{5} imes 5x=4x$$ km/hr => Distance covered in 25 hours = $$25 imes 4x=100x$$ km According to ques, => $$125x-100x=200$$ => $$25x=200$$ => $$x=frac{200}{25}=8$$ $$ herefore$$ Speed of car = $$5 imes 8=40$$ km/hr => Ans - (C)
