Step-by-step explanation:
Let distance covered by man is D , original speed is v and original time taken by him is t.
so, D = vt .......(1)
case 1 : new speed of train = (v + 4) km/h , new time taken = (t - 1/2) hr
so, D = (v + 4)(t - 1/2) ........(2)
case 2 : new speed of train = (v - 2) km/h , new time taken = (t + 1/3) hr [as 20min = 1/3 hr ]
so, D = (v - 2)(t + 1/3) ........(3)
from equations (1) and (2),
vt = vt - v/2 + 4t - 2
⇒4t - v/2 = 2 .........(4)
from equations (1) and (3),
vt = vt + v/3 - 2t - 2/3
⇒v/3 - 2t = 2/3 ........(5)
from equations (4) and (5),
2v/3 - v/2 = 2 + 4/3 = 10/3
⇒v/6 = 10/3
⇒v = 20 km/hr and t = 3 hrs
so, D = vt = 20 × 3 = 60 km
