Rahul has to travel from one point to another point in a certain time....
Explanation :
t + 40/60 = d/6
t – 12/60 = d/8
By the solving these two equations we get.
d = 20.8 km ~ 21 km
Another method :
6………………..4. (40m late)
………24…………
8…………………..3. (12 m ear)
60 = 52
1 = 52/60 = 13/15
So distance = 24 *13/15
= 8*13/5 = 104/5 = 20.8km

Rahul has to travel from one point to another point in a certain time....
Given Information:
Rahul travels from one point to another point in a certain time. He reaches 40m late when traveling at a speed of 6 km/h and he reaches 12m earlier when traveling at a speed of 8 km/h.
To Find:
The distance between the two points.
Approach:
Let's assume the distance between the two points as 'd' km.
Case 1: Traveling at 6 km/h
- Time taken to travel the distance = d/6 hours
- Rahul reaches 40m late, which means he takes extra time of 40m/6 km/h = 40/6 hours
- Total time taken = d/6 + 40/6 hours
Case 2: Traveling at 8 km/h
- Time taken to travel the distance = d/8 hours
- Rahul reaches 12m earlier, which means he saves time of 12m/8 km/h = 12/8 hours
- Total time taken = d/8 - 12/8 hours
Since the total time taken in both cases is the same, we can equate the two expressions:
d/6 + 40/6 = d/8 - 12/8
Simplifying the equation:
8d + 40 = 6d - 12
2d = -52
d = -26
Since distance cannot be negative, this is not a valid solution.
Conclusion:
The distance between the two points cannot be determined with the given information. Hence, the correct answer is option E, None of these.
