2. 960 km/hr.
Problems on Time and Distance:
1. A can complete a journey in 6 hours. He travels 1st half of the journey at the rate of 12 km/hr and 2nd half at the rate of 14 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.
Solution:
(1/2)x/12 +(1/2)x/14 = 6
x/12 + x/14 = 12
By solving the above equation, we get
x = 8.3 km.
2. A man travelled a distance of 45 km in 10 hours. He travelled partly on foot at 5 km/hr and partly on cycle at 9 km/hr. The distance travelled on foot:
Solution:
x/5 + (45-x)/9 = 10
9x+ 225-5x = 450
By solving the above equation, we get
x = 69 km.
