SSC CPO - 9 Dec 2025 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q103

Amir goes to his college from his house at a speed of 4 km/hr and returns at a speed of 2 km/hr. If he takes 4 hours to go and come, find the distance between his house and school.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Speed ​​while going = 4 km/h, Speed ​​while returning = 2 km/h, Total time = 4 hours
Let the distance be x km.
x4+x2=4x4+2x4=43x4=43x=16\frac{x}{4} + \frac{x}{2} = 4\\ \frac{x}{4} + \frac{2x}{4} = 4\\ \frac{3x}{4} = 4\\ 3x = 16
x = 5.33 km
