SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 21 June 2024 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q52

Ram goes to his office from his house at a speed of 8 km/h and returns at a speed of 2km/h. If he takes four hours to go and come back, find the distance between the house and the office.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 6.4 km.

Let the one-way distance = x km

Time taken to go = x8x\over8 hours

Time taken to return = x2x\over2 hours

⇒ x8x\over8 + x2x\over2 = 4

⇒ x+4x8x+4x\over8 = 4

⇒ 5x = 32

⇒ x = 6.4 km
