A man covers $\frac{5}{12}$ of a total journey by train, $\frac{7}{18}$ of the journey by bus and the remaining 7 km on foot. His total journey (in km) is: |
36 km 35 km 32 km 40 km |
36 km |
Solution, \(\frac{5}{12}\)x + \(\frac{7}{18}\)x = \(\frac{29}{36}\)x, ⇒ x - \(\frac{29}{36}\)x = 7km, ⇒ \(\frac{7}{36}\)x = 7, ⇒ x = 36, Therefore total distance traveled is 36 Km. |
