Question

A man travelled 3/5 of his total journey by car and 7/20 by bike and the remaining 26 km by foot then what is the total distance?
1. 420 km
2. 520 km
3. 620 km
4. 720 km

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 520 km

Given:

A man travelled 3/5^th of the total distance by car

A men travelled 7/20^th of the total distance by bike

Concept:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

Let us assume total distance is X

⇒ 3X/5 + 7X/20 + 26 = X

⇒ 12X + 7X + 520 = 20X

⇒ X = 520 km

∴ The required result will be 520 km.
