    D 218 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance between his home to airport of Australia is = x Then distance between both the airports = 250 – (x + 40) = 210 – x x/20 + (210 – x)/50 + 40/25 = 7(3/10)`` (5x + 420 – 2x + 160)/100 = 7(3/10) 3x + 580 = 730 3x = 150 x = 50 miles So distance between both the airports = 210 – x = 210 – 50 = 160 miles
