If the distance of his friend's house from his office is 15% more than the distance of his house from his office, find the distance of his house to his friend's house.

    C 105 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 206.4 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance of his house to his office = D km T = D/S 8 = D/18 + D/36 8 = (2D + D)/36 8  = 3D/36 D = 96 The distance from his house to his office = 96 km The distance from his office to his friend's house = 96  km × 115% = 110.4 km The distance from his house to his friend's house = 96 + 110.4 = 206.4 km
