  • Question
  • A person covers a distance of 100 kms in 10 hours, partly by walking at 7 km/hr and rest by running at 12 km/hr. Find the distance covered in each part.


  • Options
  • A. 48 kms
  • B. 72 kms
  • C. 108 kms
  • D. 124 kms

  • Correct Answer
  • 72 kms 

    Explanation

    Average speed = (100 / 10) = 10 km/hr.
    Ratio of time taken at 7 km/hr to 12 km/hr = 2 : 3
    Time taken at 7 km/hr = 2 (2 + 3) × 10 = 4 hrs.
    Distance covered at 7 km/hr = 7 × 4 = 28 km.
    Distance covered at 12 km/hr = 100 ? 28 = 72 km.
