Question

A boy goes to school with a speed of 3 km/hr and returns to the village with a speed of 2 km/hr. If he takes 5 hours in all, the distance between the
village and the school is:
​

Answer 1

Let the required distance be x km.

Then,

x/3+x/2 = 5

=> 2x+3x/6}= 5

=> 5x = 6*5

therefore x = 6*5/5= 6 km.
