The speed of the driver = 50 km/h

Distance from office = 30 km

Time travelled by driver = 0.75 h

Speed = Distance / time

∴ Distance = Speed * time

= 50 * 0.75 = 37.5 km

the distance travelled by the driver 37.5 km is greater than the distance from the office 30 km

he had already driven enough to reach the place
