Question
Ramesh walked 6 km to reach the station from his house,
then he boarded a train whose average speed was 60 km/h and thus he reached his destination. In this way he took a total time of 3 hours. If the average speed of the entire journey was 32 km/h then the average speed of walking is:Solution
Total distance covered by Ramesh = 32 x 3 = 96 km Average speed of train = 60 km/hr. Let the time taken by train be x hrs. ⇒ distance covered by train = 60 × x Now, according to the question 6 + 60x = 32× 3 6 + 60x = 96 60x = 96 - 6 60x = 90 x = 90/60 x = 1.5 hrs. Time taken by Ramesh to cover 6 km distance = 3 - 1.5 = 1.5h Walking speed of Ramesh = Distance/time = 6/1.5 = 4km / h r
