  • Question
  • A man decides to travel 80 km in 8 h party by foot and party on a bicycle. If his speed on foot is 8 km/h and on bicycle 16 km/h, what distance would he travel on foot?


  • Options
  • A. 20 km
  • B. 30 km
  • C. 48 km
  • D. 60 km

  • Correct Answer
  • 48 km 

    Explanation

    Here, S1 = 8 km/h
    and S2 = 16 km/h
    ? d1 =s1 x t1 = 8t1 ...(i)
    and d2 = s2 x t2 = 16t2 ...(ii)
    We know that,
    t1 + t2 = 8 ...(iii)
    and
    d1 + d2 = 80 (given) ...(iv)
    From Eqs.(i) and (ii) put the value of d1 and d2 in Eq. (iv), we get
    d1 + d2 = 80
    8t1 + 16t2 = 80
    ? 8t1 + 8t2 + 8t2 = 80
    8(t1 + t2) + 8t2 = 80
    From Eq (iii),
    8 x 8 + 8t2 = 80

    8t2 = 80 - 64 = 16
    ? t2 = 16/8 = 2h
    ? t1 = 8 - 2 = 6 h
    ? Distance travelled by foot = d1 = 8 x 6 = 48 km.
