Suresh traveled 1200 km by air which formed (2/5) of his trip. One-third of the whole trip he traveled by car And the rest of the journey he performed by train. The distance traveled by train was ?

1. 1600 km.
2. 800 km.
3. 1800 km.
4. 400 km.

Correct Option: B

Let the total distance be y km.
Then, 2y / 5 = 1200
⇒ y = (1200 x 5) /2 = 3000 km.

Distance traveled by car
= (1/3 X 3000) = 1000 km.

Distance traveled by train
= [3000- (1200 + 1000) ] km.
= 800 km.
