Solution

The correct option is C 6 km
Let the total distance is x km.

Total time=1 hr 24 min=2115min

Tarun covers 23 of the distance at 4 km/hr then time to cover this distance=23s4

Remaining distance=s23s=13s

Tarun covers rest of the distance at 5 km/hr then time to cover rest distance=13s5

2115=212s+115s

2115=1460s

s=14×1521×60=6km
