A man travelled from Tirupati to Tirumala at the speed of 20 km/h and walked back at the speed of 4 km/h. If the whole journey took 24 hours, then find the distance (in km) between Tirumala and Tirupati.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 80.

Let the distance between Tirupati and Tirumala = d km

So, d/20 + d/4 = 24

⇒ 6d/20 = 24

⇒ 6d = 480

⇒ d = 480/6 = 80 km
