Question

A man travelled at 40kmph. Had he increased his speed by 16kmph, he would have covered 80km more in same time. Find the actual distance travelled.

Answer 1

Answer:

200km is the actual distance covered by the man

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual distance covered by the man be x.

let the time be t

Distance= velocity ×time

x=40×t be equation 1

x+80= 56×t be equation 2

Dividing equation 2 by equation 1

(x+80)÷x= 56÷40

x+80= 1.4x

80=0.4x

x=200km is the actual distance covered by the man

Answer 2

Answer:

200 km

Step-by-step explanation:

A man travelled at 40 kmph. Had he increased his speed by 16 kmph, he would have covered 80 km more in same time. Find the actual distance travelled

Given  

Let time taken be t hours, distance is d km

According to question

T = x/40 and t = (x + 80)/56

So equating we get

x/40 = (x + 80) / 56

x/5 = (x + 80 )/7

7 x = 5 x + 400

2 x = 400

X = 200

So the distance covered will be 200 km
