Detailed Solution

Let the car takes x hours to reach a destination by travelling at the speed of 80 km/h.
From the question we have,
 

Speed (in km/hr)

60

80

Time (in hours)

2

x

 So, more the speed, less will be the time taken. It is in inverse proportion.
60×2=80×x
x=60×280=32
Hence, the time taken will be 112 hours.
