Answer 1

Need To find:-

• The distance of the post office from the village.

Formula used :-

• Time = Distance/Speed

Solution:-

Given that

• A man travelled from the village to the post office at the rate of 25kmph.
• Walked back at the rate of 4kmph.
• Time taken for the whole journey = 5hours 48 minutes.
• Here,5 hours 48 min = 5 4/5 hour                       =29/5 hrs

We know,

★Time = Distance/Speed

Putting the given values,

→Time = Distance/25  

→Time = Distance /4

According to question,

→x/25 + x/4 = 29/5

→29/100 x= 29/5

→x = (29/5) ÷ (29/100)

→x = 20km

Hence

• The distance of the post office from the village is 20km.
