    km/hr and returns to his home from his office at a speed of 36 km/hr and he takes 8 hours in all. 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. (Assuming the office lies between Ajay's house and his friend's house)
    A 83 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 98 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    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
