The distance traveled by him is 50 km
Let the distance travelled by the person be x km.
Speed at which he was walking initially = 10 km/hr
Time taken = Distance/Speed = x/10 hr
If his speed was 14km/hr, he would have walked 20 km more.
Distance covered now = (x + 20) km
Time taken = (x+20)/14 hr
As both the time taken is the same, so
x/10 = (x+20)/14
⇒ 14x = 10x + 200
⇒ 4x = 200
⇒ x= 200/4 = 50 km
50 km is the required answer.
