Question

The distance between two places is 10 km. A person travels 4 km which is $50\%$ of the entire journey.

• A. True
• B. Insufficient data
• C. False
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C

False

The person covers 4 km out of 10 km. Therefore, the percentage of distance covered by him is:
$\frac{4}{10}=\frac{x}{100}$
$x=40\%$
Thus, the person covers $40\%$ of the total distance, and the statement states that the person covers $50\%$ of the distance.

Hence, the statement is false.
