Solution

First, let's find out the distance between Mumbai and Hyderabad.

We know that speed = distance/time.

Here, speed = 50 kmph and time = 30 min = 0.5 hours (since 1 hour = 60 min)

So, distance = speed * time = 50 kmph * 0.5 hours = 25 km

Now, if the speed is increased by 35 kmph, the new speed = 50 kmph + 35 kmph = 85 kmph.

We need to find the time taken to cover the same distance with the new speed.

So, time = distance/speed = 25 km / 85 kmph = 0.294 hours

To convert this into minutes, we multiply by 60 (since 1 hour = 60 min)

So, time = 0.294 hours * 60 = 17.64 minutes

Therefore, it will take approximately 17.64 minutes to cover the same distance if the speed is increased by 35 kmph.
