A man travels a certain distance at 10 km/h and returns to the starting point at 8 km/h. The total time taken by him for the entire journey is one and a half hours. The total distance (in km) covered by him is:
A.14(2/5)
B.13(1/3)✓ Correct
C.11(1/3)
D.12(2/3)
Explanation
Average speed = 2×10×8/(10+8) = 160/18 = 80/9 km/h. Total distance = (80/9)×(3/2) = 120/9 = 13(1/3) km.
