Turtle vs The Speedster

Level pending

We have some video whose length is 100 minutes , Your Internet browsing speed is average , however when you browse a video it will take you 5 minutes to load 1 minute of that video , however you want to wait some time after the video has loaded some too then you play the video so that until you reach the time that video had loaded so far , the video should have loaded completely so that you don't exhibit any pauses during the video , what is the LEAST required waiting time to do that ? The Below answers are in minutes too ...

450 380 500 390 400

Let our minimum waiting time be x x minutes, in which when we return x 5 \frac{x}{5} minutes of video will be loaded. After playing these x 5 \frac{x}{5} minutes, we will have another x 25 \frac{x}{25} minutes loaded. We notice a geometric progression in the minutes loaded in the intervals we have watched, thus showing the total time that we can watch without pausing to be:

x 5 + x 25 + = x ( 1 5 + 1 25 + ) = x 4 = 100 \frac{x}{5}+\frac{x}{25}+\dots=x\cdot(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{25}+\dots)=\frac{x}{4}=100

x = 4 100 = 400 \Rightarrow x = 4\cdot 100=\boxed{400}

The Time you needed to fully load the video is 500 Minutes , but however we want to start playing anyways but in the same time make sure that if the browsing turtle speed was at 70% or 80% or what so ever from the video time until the speedster who is yourself reaches there , the turtle should reach the end of the video ... so that being said , by waiting 400 minutes the turtle currently at 80 minutes so it needs another 20 minutes to fully load the video which is exactly the time that will be used next , you will play the video after waiting 400 minutes , so that you made sure that there will be no pauses
