    Question

    A person walks at 5 km/h for some time and then

    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 − t hours Total distance: 5t + 8(6 − t) = 39 5t + 48 − 8t = 39 −3t = −9 ⇒ t = 3 hours So time at 8 km/h = 6 − 3 = 3 hours.
