2. x km/hr = x×518 m/sec

 

3. x m/sec = x×185 km/hr

4. If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b , then the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the same distance is or b : a

5. Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/ hr and an equal distance at y km/hr . Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xyx+ykm/hr.

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?

A) 19 km B) 15 km
C) 12 km D) 20 km
 
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.
