Solution

The correct option is B

18.1 km


We can either convert the fractions to decimals before calculation or after calculation.

Method 1 : - Distance travelled by bus = 225 out of 452 km

Distance left to be covered by train = 452 - 225

= 22510 - 4410

= 18110

= 18.1 km in decimal

Method 2 : -

Distance travelled by bus = 225 km = 4.4 km out of 452 = 22.5 km

Distance left to be covered by train = 22.5 - 4.4 = 18.1 km
