______________________________
A man covers 2/15 part of his journey by train.
Then he covers 9/20 part by Tonga
Then he covers the remaining 10 km on foot
______________________________
The length of his journey.
______________________________
Let the total length of journey be x km.
_____________
Then, length covered by train
= 2/15 of total
= 2/15 × x
= 2x/15
_____________
And, length covered by Tonga
= 9/20 of total
= 9/20 × x
= 9x/20
_____________
And, length covered on foot
= 10 km
_____________
Now, according to the question,
total length covered = length covered by train + length covered by Tonga + length covered on foot
==> x = 2x/15 + 9x/20 + 10
==> x = 8x + 27x + 600/60
==> x = 35x + 600/60
Cross multiplying, we get
==> 60(x) = 1(35x + 600)
==> 60x = 35x + 600
==> 60x - 35x = 600
==> 25x = 600
==> x = 600/25
==> x = 24
