Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3 km

Given:

Distance is travelled by a person equally with the speed of 4 km/hr, 6 km/hr and 8 km/hr respectively

Total time taken = 32.5 minutes

Formula used:

Time = Distance/Speed

1 hour = 60 minutes

Calculation:

Let the equal distance be D km

Then total distance = 3D

Now, the total time is taken = 32.5 minutes

⇒ (D/4) + (D/6) + (D/8) = (32.5/60) hrs

⇒ (6D + 4D + 3D)/24 = 32.5/60

⇒ 13D = 32.5 × 24/60

⇒ D = (32.5 × 24)/(60 × 13)

⇒ D = 1 km

Total distance = 3 × 1

⇒ 3 km.

∴ The total distance travelled by him is 3 km
