Question
A man takes a total of 5 hrs 30 min by walking to a
certain place and coming back by cycle. He would have gained 2 hrs 30 min by cycling both the ways. The time he would take to walk both ways is ?Solution
By cycling + by walking = 5 hrs 30 min .......... (i) One way by cycling = (5 hrs 30 min〖- 2 hrs 30 min〗)/2 = 1 hrs 30 min ∴ By walking both ways = 2 (5 hrs 30 min - 1 hrs 30 min) = 8 hrs.
