Q:

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.

Explanation:

Given Karthik can cover the distance of 200 kms resting 2 hrs per day in 22 days.

 

Let the initial speed be '1'

 

Hence, Time = 22(24hrs - 2)

 

Noe new speed = 2/3

 

Let the number of days he take be 'D'

 

Therefore, 2224-2x3200=D24-2x2250

 

D = 11 x 3 x 5/4 = 41.25 days. = 41 1/4 days.
