      Question

      A total journey of 250 km is completed by Ravi partly by

      boat at 25 km/h and the remaining by train at 50 km/h. If the whole trip took 6.5 hours, find the distance covered by Ravi by boat.
      A 65 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 75 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 45 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 85 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the distance covered by boat be ‘d’ km.

      Distance by train = (250 - d) km

      So, (d/25) + [(250 - d)/50] = 6.5

      Take LCM of 25 and 50 = 50

      Multiply both sides by 50:

      => 2d + (250 - d) = 325

      => 2d + 250 - d = 325

      => d + 250 = 325

      => d = 325 - 250

      => d = 75

      Therefore, Ravi travelled 75 km by boat.
