      Question

      If Ramesh covers a certain distance at 12 km/h, he

      arrives 5 hours later than the scheduled time. If he travels at 20 km/h, he reaches 2 hours earlier than the scheduled time. What is 50% of the distance travelled by Ramesh?
      A 105 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 210 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 125 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 165 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ:
      Let the distance travelled by Ramesh = β€˜d’ km
      Let the usual time taken by Ramesh to travel this distance = β€˜t’ hours We have,
      d Γ· 12 = t + 5…………………..(i)
      Also, d Γ· 20 = t – 2…………………(ii) Equation (i) – Equation (ii), we get
      (d/12) – (d/20) = t + 5 – (t – 2) = 7
      Or, (5d – 3d) Γ· 60 = 7
      So, d = (60 Γ— 7) Γ· 2 = 210 So, 50% of the distance travelled by Ramesh = 210 Γ— 0.5 =Β 105 km
