Two men walk from a place at speeds of 9 km/h and 12 km/h, respectively. The first man takes 20 minutes more than the second one to cover the journey. Find the distance of the journey.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 12 km.

Let's assume the total distance = D

According to the question, 

D9−D12=2060\frac{D}{9}-\frac{D}{12}=\frac{20}{60}

⇒ 4D - 3D = 12

D = 12 km
