Q:

A man travelled a distance of 80 km in 7 hours partly on foot at the rate of 8 km per hour and partly on bicycle at 16 km /hr. Find the distance travelled on foot ?

Answer

Let the Journey on foot be x km

Journey on cycle = (80 – x) km

$∴ \frac{x}{8} + \frac{80 - x}{16} = 7$

=> x = 32km

Therefore, Distance covered on foot in 4 hrs = ( 4 x 8) = 32 km
