      at a speed of 15 km/h, then 40% of the remaining distance at 7.5 km/h, and the rest at 9 km/h. If it took her a total of 14 hours to complete the entire journey, what is the total distance she covered?

      B 120 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 145 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 250 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, We can say that distance covered by Amrita be โ€˜100aโ€™ km. Distance covered at 15 km/h = 100a ร— 0.50 = โ€˜50aโ€™ km Distance covered at 7.5 km/h = 50a ร— 0.40 = โ€˜20aโ€™ km Distance covered at 9 km/h = 50a โ€“ 20a = โ€˜30aโ€™ km ATQ; (50a/15) + (20a/7.5) + (30a/9) = 14 Or, 150a + 120a + 150a = 14 ร— 45 Or, 420a = 14 ร— 45 So, a = 1.5 So, required distance = 100 ร— 1.50 = 150 km
