Correct Answer - Option 1 : 9 km 

Given:

When speed is 30 kmph reaches on time

When speed is 18kmph reaches 12 min early

Formula:

Time = distance/speed

Calculation:

Let the distance be 'x' km

Therefore time taken to cover 'x' km at 30 kmph = x/30​ hr

Time taken to cover 'x 'km at 18 kmph = x/18​ hr

But it is given that the difference between two timings 

⇒ 0 + 12 = 12 min = 12/60​ hr = 1/5

⇒ x/18 ​– x/30 ​= 1/5

⇒ (30x − 18x)​/(18 × 30) = 1/5​

⇒ 12x/​(18 × 30) = 1/5

⇒ x = (1 × 18 × 30)/(12 × 5)

⇒x = 9 km 

Length of journey is 9km.
