Answer 2

Answer:

Thus distance traveled by rickshaw =18 km

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of bus=36 km/hr

Total distance of the palace=36*2.5=90 km

let x km is returned by rickshaw

then by bus=90-k km

Total time take by bus and  rickshaw

= x/9 +(90-x)/36= 4 hrs

4x+90-x=144

3x=144-90=54

x=54/3=18 m

Thus distance traveled by rickshaw =18 km
