By walking at 4/5 of usual speed he will take 5/4 of his usual time.

Extra time = (5/4) of usual time - usual time = 10 minutes
=> (1/4) of usual time = 10 minute
=> usual time = 40 minutes

The correct answer is D.

Thanks Rahul! But I don't get this part: "By walking at 4/5 of usual speed he will take 5/4 of his usual time"

RT=D

4/5R(T)=1, so T has to be 5/4.

1 is 100%, as in completing the job. IF at R rate and T time you can complete 1 job then RT=1; 4/5R(T)=1? if T is the the same then you can only complet 4/5 the job or 4/5R(T)=1(4/5) right?

A. 81 minutes

B. 64 minutes

C. 52 minutes

D. 40 miuutes

E. none
We can plug in the answer choices, which represent the normal time. Since the problem includes 4/5, the correct answer is likely to be a multiple of 4 and 5. Let's try answer choice D.

Answer choice D: Normal time = 40 minutes.
Let distance = 200 miles.
Rate = 200/40 = 5 miles/minute.
4/5 rate = 4/5*5 = 4 miles/minute.
Time at slower rate = 200/4 = 50 minutes.
50-40 = 10 minute increase. Success!

The correct answer is D.
