Let the total distance be y km.
Then, (y/2) x (1/60) + (y/2) x (1/50) = 44/3Correct Option: D
Let the total distance be y km.
Then, (y/2) x (1/60) + (y/2) x (1/50) = 44/3
⇒ y/120 + y/100 = 44/3
⇒ 5y + 6y = 8800
⇒ y = 800
∴ Required distance = 800km.

Let the total journey be x km. then,
2x/15 + 9x/20 + 10 = xCorrect Option: D
Let the total journey be x km. then,
2x/15 + 9x/20 + 10 = x
⇒ 8x + 27x + 600 = 60x
⇒ x = 24
∴ Total journey = 24 km.

Let total distance be y km.
Then , (2y / 3) / 4 + ( y / 3) / 5 = 42/60Correct Option: D
Let total distance be y km.
Then , (2y / 3) / 4 + ( y / 3) / 5 = 42/60
⇒ y/6 + y/ 15 = 7/10
⇒ 5y + 2y = 21
∴ y = 3
∴ Required distance = 3 km.

Let The required distance be y km.
Then, y/3 + y/2 = 5
⇒ 2y + 3y = 30
⇒ y = 6 km

Distance = (4 x 11/4 )km.
= 11 km.
∴ Req. Time = 11km / (33/2) km/hrCorrect Option: A
Distance = (4 x 11/4 )km.
= 11 km.
∴ Req. Time = 11km / (33/2) km/hr
= 2 x (11 / 33) hr.
=(2 / 3) x 60 minutes
= 40 minutes
