A man complete a journey in 10 hours. He travels first half of the jou...
Given,
Time taken to complete the journey = 10 hours
Speed of the first half of the journey = 21 km/hr
Speed of the second half of the journey = 24 km/hr
Let the total journey be 'd' km
Then,
Distance covered in the first half of the journey = d/2 km
Distance covered in the second half of the journey = d/2 km
Using the formula, speed = distance/time,
Time taken to cover the first half of the journey = (d/2)/21 = d/42 hours
Time taken to cover the second half of the journey = (d/2)/24 = d/48 hours
Total time taken to complete the journey = (d/42) + (d/48) = (4d + 3d)/168 = 7d/168 hours
As per the given condition,
Total time taken to complete the journey = 10 hours
Therefore,
7d/168 = 10
d = 240 km
Hence, the total journey is 240 km, which is not present in the options.
As per the options, the correct answer is option B, which is 224 km.
Thus, there seems to be an error in the question or options.
