    Question

    A truck travels from depot β€˜D’ to warehouse β€˜W’.

    If it moves at 80 km/h, it reaches 1 hour early. If it moves at 60 km/h, it reaches 1 hour late. What is the distance between depot β€˜D’ and warehouse β€˜W’?
    A 428 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 435 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 480 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 472 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the distance between depot β€˜D’ and warehouse β€˜W’ be β€˜d’ km Let the correct time to travel be β€˜t’ hours According to the question, (d/60) = t + 1 And, (d/80) = t - 1 Or, (d/60) - (d/80) = 2 Or, (4d - 3d) Γ· 240 = 2 Or, d = 2 Γ— 240 = 480 Therefore, distance between depot β€˜D’ and warehouse β€˜W’ is 480 km.
