Saji can cover a certain distance in 1 hr. 24 min. by covering two-third of the distance at 4 kmph and the rest at 5 kmph. Find the total distance.


A) 6 km

B) 8 km

C) 9 km

D) 7 km

E) 10 km

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Let the total distance be $x$ km. Then,

$\frac{\frac{2}{3}x}{4}+\frac{\frac{1}{3}x}{5}$ $=\frac{7}{5}$ $\Leftrightarrow x=6$

Total distance = 6 km.
