A person covers a distance of 32 km in 5 hrs . Some part of this journey is covered on foot at the speed of 6 km/hr and the rest by cycle at the speed of 8 km/hr. Find the distance covered on foot .

24 km

Distance = Speed × Time 

Total Distance = 32 km 

Total Time taken = 5 hours 

Let the time he traveled on foot be x hours with speed 6 km/hr 

And time he traveled by bicycle is ( 5 - x ) hours with speed 8 km/hr 

According to question , 

6 × x + 8 × ( 5 - x ) = 32 

6x + 4o - 8x = 36 

2x = 8    ⇒   x = 4 hours 

So ,  distance traveled by foot = 6  ×  4 = 24 km
