A jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey, during the return journey increased speed 12km/hr takes the times 4 hrs. What is the distance travelled by the jeep is ?

A) 244 km B) 144 km
C) 444 km D) 344 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 144 km

Explanation:

Given a jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey
During the return journey, it takes 4 hrs with an increased speed 12 km/hr
Let 'x' be the distance.
Now, speed is given by distance/time.
Here the difference between both speeds = 12

 x4 - x6 = 12

 3x - 2x12 = 12

 

=> x = 144 km

 

Therefore, the distance travelled by the jeep in forward or return journey is x = 144 km.
