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