      Question

      If Ankit drives a certain distance at 18 km/h, he gets

      delayed by 3 hours. If he drives at 30 km/h, he reaches 2 hours before time. Find 40% of the distance travelled by Ankit.
      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 Ankit = ‘d’ km
      Let the usual time taken by Ankit to travel this distance = ‘t’ hours We have,
      d ÷ 18 = t + 3…………………..(i)
      Also, d ÷ 30 = t – 2…………………(ii) Equation (i) – Equation (ii), we get
      (d/18) – (d/30) = t + 3 – (t – 2) = 5
      Or, (5d – 3d) ÷ 90 = 5
      So, d = (90 × 5) ÷ 2 = 225 So, 40% of the distance travelled by Ankit = 225 × 0.4 = 90 km
