A delivery boy started from his office at 10 a.m. to deliver an article. He rode his scooter at a speed of 32 km/h. He delivered the article and waited for 15 minutes to get the payment. After the payment was made, he reached his office at 11.25 a.m., traveling at a speed of 24 km/h. Find the total distance traveled by the boy.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 32 km
In this case, distance is constant.
Total time = d/32 + d/24 + 15 min = 85 min
7d/96 = 70/60 hours
d = 16
Total distance traveled by the boy = 16 + 16 = 32 km.
