Practicing Success
A man performs $\frac{3}{5}$ of the total journey by rail, $\frac{7}{20}$ of the journey by bus and the remaining 6.5 km on foot. What is his total journey (in km)? |
65 100 120 130 |
130 |
Let the total journey be 100x km ⇒ He covers 3/5(100x) by rail ⇒ He covers 60x km by rail ⇒ 7/20(100x) km by bus ⇒ 35x km by bus ⇒ Remaining journey = 100x - (60x + 35x) ⇒ Remaining journey = 5x ⇒ 5x = 6.5 ( which he covers by foot) ⇒ 100x = 130 km |
