Q:

A man walks at a speed of 3 kmph. He doubles his speed after reaching exactly half way. He walks for 5 hours in all. What is the total distance travelled by him?

A) 19 km B) 15 km
C) 12 km D) 20 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 20 km

Explanation:

Let total distance be 2D.

 

He walks half distance i.e, (2D/2) = 'D' distance with 3 kmph and

The next 'D' with 6 kmph.

 

 

Using formula,

Time = Distance/speed

 

(D/3) + (D/6) = 5

 

D =10 ,

Hence, Total distance 2D  =  20 kms.
