  • Question
  • Suresh traveled 1200 km by air which formed (2/5) of his trip. One-third of the whole trip he traveled by car And the rest of the journey he performed by train. The distance traveled by train was?


  • Options
  • A. 1600 km.
  • B. 800 km.
  • C. 1800 km.
  • D. 400 km.

  • Correct Answer
  • 800 km. 

    Explanation

    Let the total distance be y km.
    Then, 2y / 5 = 1200
    ? y = (1200 x 5) /2 = 3000 km.

    Distance traveled by car
    = (1/3 X 3000) = 1000 km.

    Distance traveled by train
    = [3000- (1200 + 1000) ] km.
    = 800 km.
