assuming bus speed at 27miles / hr

Bus will reach destination at 9.00 am

and will start return journey at 9.30 am

To cover other 27miles at 50% slower speed i.e at 18miles /hr it will take 1hr 30 minutes and will reach at start point at 11am.

Dist=27
Let ongoing speed=27m/hr
time=1hr
it reaches at 9:00
waits there upto 9:30
dist=27
speed=150%of 27
=54
time=27/54
=1/2hr=30min
it reaches home at 10:00
