      Question

      Ramesh covered 300 km in total β€” part of the journey

      was by auto at 60 km/h, and the rest by walking at 6 km/h. If total time was 9.5 hours, what distance did he travel by auto?
      A 150 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 500 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 300 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 270 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let distance by auto = d km

      Then, walking distance = 300 - d km

      Equation: d / 60 + (300 - d) / 6 = 9.5

      LCM of 60 and 6 = 60

      Or, (d + 10(300 - d)) / 60 = 9.5

      (d + 3000 - 10d)/60 = 9.5

      (3000 - 9d)/60 = 9.5

      Multiply both sides:

      3000 - 9d = 570

      9d = 2430

      d = 270

      Distance by auto = 270 km
