Answer:

Average speed 600 km/hr

Reduced to 400 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

30 mins = 0.5 hours

600/(x-200) - 600/x = 0.5

600x - 600x + 120000 = 0.5x² - 100x

0.5x² - 100x - 120000 = 0

x² - 200x - 240000 = 0

x² - 600x + 400x - 240000 = 0

x(x - 600) + 400(x - 600) = 0

(x + 400)(x - 600) = 0

x = 600
