Tilak rides on a cycle to a place at speed of 22 kmph and comes back at a speed of 20 kmph. If the time taken by him in the second case is 36 min. more than that of the first case, what is the total distance travelled by him (in km)?

Correct Answer: 264 km

Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms


Now, from the given data,


d/20 = d/22 + 36 min


=> d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs


=> d = 132 km.


 


Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.
