Marks: +1, -0

A man covered a certain distance by a train running at the speed of 50 km/hr and covers the same distance back by walking at the speed of 5 km/hr. If the whole journey took 5 hours 30 minutes, then what was the distance (in km) of one side?

Validate

Solution:

Let total distance covered (both sides) =

2d

km
Speed of train = 50 km/hr and walking speed = 5 km/hr
Using, time = distance/speed
⇒

d/50 +d/5 =5.5

⇒

{11d}/50 =5.5

⇒

d=5.5×50/11=25
