If a man runs at 24 km/hr instead of 20 km/hr he could run 40 km more in the same time. Find the actual distance travelled by him. |
100 Km 200 Km 300 Km 400 Km |
200 Km |
Let the time taken be $t\text{ hours}$. At 20 km/h, the distance covered is: $20t$ At 24 km/h, the distance covered is: $24t$ Given that at the higher speed he covers 40 km more in the same time: $24t - 20t = 40$ $4t = 40$ $t = 10\text{ hours}$ Therefore, the actual distance (at 20 km/h) is: $20 \times 10 = 200\text{ km}$ |
