Question

The distance between two cities is $36$ km. Jaya walks $2$ km $40$ m and then takes a taxi to travel one city to another. Find the distance to travel by taxi.

• A. 32 km 760 m
• B. 33 km 760 m
• C. 33 km 960 m
• D. 38 km 40 m

Answer 1

The correct option is C 33 km 960 m

Total distance between two cities $=36\text{km}=36000\text{m}$
Jaya walks $2$ km $40$ m i.e. $(2000+40)\text{m}=2040$m
Therefore distance traveled by taxi $=(36000-2040)\text{m}=33960\text{m}=33\text{km}960\text{m}$
