  1. A person covers a distance of 100 kms in 10 hours, partly by walking at 7 km/hr and rest by running at 12 km/hr. Find the distance covered in each part.
    1. 48 kms
    2. 72 kms
    3. 108 kms
    4. 124 kms
Correct Option: B

Average speed = (100 / 10) = 10 km/hr.
Ratio of time taken at 7 km/hr to 12 km/hr = 2 : 3
Time taken at 7 km/hr = 2 (2 + 3) × 10 = 4 hrs.
Distance covered at 7 km/hr = 7 × 4 = 28 km.
Distance covered at 12 km/hr = 100 – 28 = 72 km.
