Answer 1

The distance between his home and office would be 20km.

Because, If total distance = x , then

(4x / 5) + (3x / 20) + 1 = x

(16x+3x+20) / 20 =x or x=20

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We analyze the question as follows :

By Metro train = 4/5

By Auto train = 3/20

Total by Metro and auto = 4/5 + 3/20

= 19/20

Remaining = 1 - 19/20 = 1/20

By foot = 1/20 = 1 km

20/1 × 1 = 20km

The total distance = 20 km
