Correct Answer - Option 1 : 4 kms.
Given
Boy speed 4 km per hr reached earlier at school = 10 minutes
Boy speed 3 km per hr reached late at school = 10 minutes
Formula used:
Speed = Distance/Time
Calculation:
Let the distance be x km.
Time is taken at 4 km per hr be t1 =x/4 hrs
Time taken at 3 km per hr be t2 =x/3 hrs
Difference in timings = 10 + 10
⇒ 20 minutes
According to the question
⇒ x/3 − x/4 = 20/60
⇒ x/12 = 1/3
⇒ x = 4 kms
∴ The required distance is 4 kms.
