      increases his speed to 8 km/h, covering a total distance of 39 km in 6 hours. For how much time did he walk at the faster speed?
      A 5 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 7 hours Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let time at 5 km/h be t hours Then time at 8 km/h = 6 βˆ’ t hours Total distance: 5t + 8(6 βˆ’ t) = 39 5t + 48 βˆ’ 8t = 39 βˆ’3t = βˆ’9 β‡’ t = 3 hours So time at 8 km/h = 6 βˆ’ 3 = 3 hours.
