Mohit starts moving from a place A and reaches the place B in 12 hours. He covers (1/5)th part of the total distance at the speed of 6 km/hr and covers the remaining distance at the speed of 8 km/hr. What is the distance between A and B?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 90 km.
| Understanding/Application |
|
Total time taken = 12 hours 1/5th of the distance is covered at the speed of 6 km/hr and remaining at 8 km/hr. Speed = Distance/Time Let the total distance be x. |
|
ATQ - [(x/5)/6] + [(4x/5)/8] = 12 (x/30) + (x/10) = 12 4x/30 = 12 x = 90 |
