Answer 2

$Mahesh \: travels \: in \: bus = 3 \frac{1}{2} or \frac{7}{2}$

$He \: travels \: by \: walking = \frac{11}{8}$

Now,

To add them we have to find the L.C.M of the denominators as they are not equal ,

L.C.M of 2 and 8 is 8

Now,

We have to equalize the numerators i.e

$\frac{7×4}{2×4} = \frac{28}{8}$

and,

$\frac{11×1}{8×1} = \frac{11}{8}$

Now, as we have equalize the numerators we have to add them.

$\frac{11}{8} + \frac{28}{8}$

$\frac{11+28}{8}$

and,

$Answer = \frac{39}{8} or 4\frac{7}{8} km$

$So, the \: he \: travelled \\ \: 4\frac{7}{8} \: km \: to y \: reach the city$

Hope it helps friend :-)
