Problem

A toy train travels around a circular track of radius 1.2 m1.2\,\text{m}, taking 10 s10\,\text{s} for one revolution. If it is later adjusted to take 12 s12\,\text{s} per revolution while the radius remains the same, by approximately what percentage does its speed change? (a) Increases by 17%\text{Increases by }17\% (b) Decreases by 33%\text{Decreases by }33\% (c) Decreases by 17%\text{Decreases by }17\% (d) Decreases by 20%\text{Decreases by }20\%
