Question

A man travel 2/5th of his journey by train 1/3rd by taxi 1/6 by bus and remaining 10 km on foot find the length of its total journey

Answer 1

Let the total length of the journey be 'x' km. the

So, distance travelled by train=2/5x km

Distance travelled by taxi=1/3x

Distance travelled by bus=1/6x

Distance travelled on foot=10 km

ATQ:-

2/5x+1/3x+1/6x+10=x

2/5x+1/3x+1/6x-x+10=0

-1/10x+10=0

10=1/10x

10×10=x

100=x

So, the length of total journey travelled is 100 km

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the total journey be x km

journey by train = 2/5 × x km = 2x /5 km

journey by taxi = 1/3 × x km = x/3 km

journey by bus = 1/6 × x km = x/6 km

remaining journey on foot = 10 km

A/Q

2x/5 + x/3 + x/6 + 10 = x

12x/30 + 10x/30 + 5x/30 + 300/30 = x

27x + 300 = 30x

-30x + 27x = -300

-3x = - 300

x = 300/3

x = 100 ans
