Answer:
Total length of his journey is 50km.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Total length of his journey be a km.
Given,
After travelling 40km ramu found out he had only covered 4 / 5 of the total distance i.e. a km.
It means : 4 / 5 of the total distance = 40 km
= > 4 / 5 of a km = 40 km
= > 4 / 5 x a = 40
= > a = 40 x 5 / 4
= > a = 10 x 5
= > a = 50
Hence the total distance of his journey is 50km.

So, A. T. Q
After travelling 40 km Ramu found that
he travelled 4/5 of his journey .
So, Now we have
» 4/5 * x = 40
» x = 40 * 5/4
[ Dividing 40 by 4 ]
» x = 10* 5
x = 50 km
--------------[ Answer ]
So, the distance travelled by Ramu is 50 km.
