Answer:

The answer to the question is

The actual duration of the trip is 8/9 times the normal duration or the bus arrived 1/9 times earlier than it would have at a constant speed of v kph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of bus in the first third distance = v kph

Speed of bus for the remaining two thirds = 1.2 v kph

To solve the question, we note that speed = distance/time

therefore time = distance/speed

Let the distance of the destination be D, then

Normal duration at speed v = D/v

Actual duration (D/3)÷v + (2D/3)÷(1.2v) ⇒ (1.2*D/3 + 2D/3)1.2v

= \frac{D}{3v} +\frac{5D}{9v} = (8/9)×D/v

Therefore the actual duration is 8/9 times the normal duration
