• A. 17.4 km
• B. 12.5 km
• C. 18.3 km
• D. 8.3 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C 18.3 km

It is given that Aman travels 15.4 km by bus and 2,900 m by cycle to reach his destination. We need to calculate the total distance that he travelled.
For that we need both the distance in same unit.
Now, the distance travelled by Aman via cycle is 2,900 m
So, 2,900 m = <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $\frac{2,900}{1,000}$ = 2.9 km

Hence, the total distance travelled by Aman = 15.4 km + 2.9 km

15.4

+ 2.9
_______

18.3

So, the total distance travelled by Aman = 18.3 km
