Q:
A man walks at a speed of 3 kmph. He doubles his speed after reaching exactly half way. He walks for 5 hours in all. What is the total distance travelled by him?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: D) 20 km
Explanation: Let total distance be 2D.
He walks half distance i.e, (2D/2) = 'D' distance with 3 kmph and
The next 'D' with 6 kmph.
Using formula,
Time = Distance/speed
(D/3) + (D/6) = 5
D =10 ,
Hence, Total distance 2D = 20 kms.
