A man travels three-fifth of a distance at a speed of and the remaining distance at a speed of . If he goes from to and returns at a uniform speed of in exactly the same total time, then which one of the following relations is correct?
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let the total distance be .
* Distance for the first part = , covered at speed .
* Distance for the remaining part = , covered at speed .
Total time taken for the forward journey from to :
For the round trip from to and back to , the total distance covered is at a uniform speed of :
Given that the times are equal:
Dividing the entire equation by :
* Distance for the first part = , covered at speed .
* Distance for the remaining part = , covered at speed .
