answer is 35mins

let the usual time be t. 7/5of usual speed=5/7 of usual time

so 5/7t=t-10(as he reaches 10 mins earlier)

solving the equ gives t=35mins

t=d/s;
Let x as speed, y as required time.

Normal
d/x=y*60.....eq.(1)//min to sec

7/5of usual speed
5d/7x=(y-10)*60.....eq2

solve this two eqs
You get d/x
put this into eq 1
and get y value
Ans: 35 min
