Question:

If a person goes from home to his college at a speed of 12 km/h, he reaches 7 minutes early. If he goes at a speed of 8 km/h, he reaches 14 minutes late. What is the distance between his home and his college?

Options:

9.2 km

9.6 km

8.4 km

7.6 km

Correct Answer:

8.4 km

Explanation:

Let distance = X km

Time difference = 14 - (-7) = 21 minutes

According to question ,

\(\frac{X}{8}\) -  \(\frac{X}{12}\)= \(\frac{21}{60}\)

\(\frac{X}{24}\) = \(\frac{21}{60}\)

X = 8.4 km

So , Distance is 8.4 km
