Question

A person travels 285 Km in 6 hours in two stages. In the first part of the journey, he travels by bus at the speed of 40 Km/h. In the second part of the journey, he travels by train at the speed of 55 Km/h. How much distance did he travel by train?

• A. 205 Km
  
  
• B. 145 Km
  
• C. 165 Km
  
• D. 185 Km
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C 165 Km


In this question, the alligation method is applicable for the speed.

$\therefore$ Time spent in bus:time spent in train
$=\frac{45}{6}:\frac{45}{6}=1:1.$
$\therefore$ Distance travelled by train =$55\times 3=165Km.$
