      Question

      'A' starts a journey and covers the first half of the

      total distance at a speed of 15 km/hr. Then, he travels half of the remaining distance at 5 km/hr and the final portion at 3 km/hr. If it takes him a total of 10 hours to complete the entire journey, what is the total distance traveled by 'A'?
      A 60 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 50 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 56 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 48 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the total distance covered by β€˜A’ be β€˜4x’ km Distance covered with speed of 15 km/hr = 0.5 Γ— 4x = 2x km/hr Distance covered with speed of 5 km/hr = 0.5 Γ— (4x – 2x) = β€˜x’ km/hr ATQ, (2x/15) + (x/5) + (x/3) = 10 Or, {(2x + 3x + 5x)/15} = 10 Or, 10x = 150 Or, x = 150/10 = 15 Therefore, total distance covered by β€˜A’ = 4x = 60 km
