Question

Ranjeet travels 63.257 km to his hometown. If he takes a bus for 48.56 km and a train for the remaining journey, what distance did he travel by train?

• A. 16.796 km
• B. 16.479 km
• C. 14.697 km
• D. 14.679 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C

14.697 km

We need to convert the numbers to like decimals. Therefore, we now have
Total distance travelled = 63.257
And distance travelled by bus = 48.560.
Now, the distance travelled by train is given by the difference of the total distance covered and the distance covered by the bus.

$63.257$
$-48.560$
$\overline{}$
$14.697$
$\overline{}$

Hence, the distance travelled by train is 14.697 km
