Question

Vishal travelled 2 km 250m by train, 1500 m by bus and remaining distance by bicycle. If he has traveled 5 km during the entire journey, then the distance traveled by bicycle is ___ km.

• A. $1.25$
• B. $1.75$
• C. $2.6$
• D. $2.75$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $1.25$

We have $1$ km = $1000$ m,
$1$ $m$ = $\frac{1}{1000}$ km
$250$ m = $\frac{250}{1000}$ km = $0.25$ km
$1500$ m = $\frac{1500}{1000}$ km = $1.5$ km

Total Distance = $5$ km
Distance traveled by train = $(2$+$0.25$) km = $2.25$ km
Distance traveled by bus = $1.5$ km

Distance traveled by bicycle = Total Distance - Distance traveled by train - Distance traveled by bus
Distance traveled by bicycle = ($5$ - $2.25$ - $1.5$) km
= $1.25$ km
