  1. A farmer travelled a distance of 61 km in 9 hours. He travelled partly on foot at a speed of 4 km/hour and partly on bicycle at a speed of 9 km/hour. The distance travelled on foot is :

    Length of journey on foot = x km. (let).
    ∴  Length of journey on cycle = (61 – x ) km.
    According to the question,

    Time =
    Distance
    Speed

    ∴ 
    x
    +
    61 − x
    = 9
    49

    ⇒ 
    9x + 244 − 4x
    = 9
    36

    ⇒  5x + 244 = 36 × 9 = 324
    ⇒  5x = 324 – 244 = 80
    ⇒  x =
    80
    = 16 km

    Correct Option: B

    Length of journey on foot = x km. (let).
    ∴  Length of journey on cycle = (61 – x ) km.
