Let T is the actual time taken to reach the destination by man.
case 1 : if the speed of man , u = 30 km/h , he reaches his destination 10 min late .
e.g., distance between man and destination point , S = speed of man × time taken
= 30 × (T + 1/6) km [ as you know, 10min = 10/60 hour = 1/6 hour ]
so, S = 30(T + 1/6) ........ (1)
case 2 : if the speed of man, v = 42 km/h , he reaches his destination 10 minutes early.
e.g.,. distance between man and destination point , S = speed of man × Time taken
= 42 × (T - 1/6) km
so, S = 42(T - 1/6) ........(2)
from equations (1) and (2),
30(T + 1/6) = 42(T - 1/6)
or, 10T + 10/6 = 14T - 14/6
or, 10/6 + 14/6 = 14T - 10T
or, 24/6 = 4T
or, T = 1 hour
putting T = 1 in equation (1),
S = 30(1 + 1/6) = 30 × 7/6 = 35 km
Hence, The distance travelled is 35 km
