Let the total journey be of x km, then
2x + 9x + 10 = x 15 20 ⇒ x − 2x − 9x = 10 15 20 ⇒ 60x − 8x − 27x = 10 60 ⇒ 25x = 10 60 ⇒ x = 60 × 10 = 24 km 25 Correct Option: B

90 km = 12 × 7km + 6 km. To
cover 7 km total time taken = 7 8 hours + 6 min. = 88 min. So, 3
(12 × 7 km) would be covered in12 × 88 min. and remaining 6 km is 6 hrs or 20 min 3 18 ∴ Total time = 1056 + 20 3 = 1116 hours = 6 1 hours 3 × 60 5
= 6 hours 12 minutes.Correct Option: B

Speed of train = 60 kmph
Time = 210 minutes= 210 hours 60 or 7 hours 2 Distance covered = 60 × 7 = 210 km 2 Time taken at 80 kmph = 210 = 21 hours 80 8 = 2 5 hours 8
Second Method :Here, S1 60, t1 = 210 hrs 60
S2 = 80, t2 = ?
S1t1 = S2t260 × 210 = 80 × t2 60 t2 = 2 5 hrs 8 Correct Option: B
