A man complete a journey in 10 hours. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| (1/2)x | + | (1/2)x | = 10 |
| 21 | 24 |
 |
x | + | x | = 20 |
| 21 | 24 |
15x = 168 x 20
| x = |
 |
168 x 20 |  |
= 224 km. |

Total journey = 10 hours.
Journey in 2 parts 10/2 = 5
each journey is = 5 hours.
1st journey speed =21 km/hr ;
Total of 1st journey speed = 21 x 5 =105
Total of 2nd journey speed =24 x 5 =120.
Then,
Total 1st and 2nd both journey speed = 105 + 120 = 225 km.
THANKS.

Total journey = 10hours.
Journey in 2 parts = 10/2 = 5.
Each journey is = 5hours.
1st journey speed = 21km/hr.
2nd journey speed = 24km/hr.
Total of 1st journey speed = 21 * 5 = 105
Total of 2nd journey speed = 24 * 5 = 120.
So,
Total 1st & 2nd both journey = 105 + 120.

First, half of the journey is nothing but 5hr,
So, distance = speed * time.
21*5 = 105.
24*5 = 120.
Total= 225km
So, distance = speed * time.
21*5 = 105.
24*5 = 120.
Total= 225km

@All.
For the people who got an answer as 225km, we cannot assume that the time taken to complete half of the journey (distance) is 5hrs, assuming 5hrs for the first trip and 5 for the second is wrong.
Because its not relative to the time, but rather relative to the journey (distance).

2xy/x+y.
= 2*21*24/21+24.
= 1008/45
= 224km.
= 2*21*24/21+24.
= 1008/45
= 224km.

By using the formula = 2xy/x + y.
= 2 * 21 * 24/21 + 24.
= 1008/45,
= 22.4,
= 22.4 * 10.
= 224km.
= 2 * 21 * 24/21 + 24.
= 1008/45,
= 22.4,
= 22.4 * 10.
= 224km.

Let's take a formula = 2XY/X + Y.
Here, X=21 and Y= 24.
So, the formula is = 2 * 21 * 24/21 + 24,
= 1008/45.
Here, your Answer = 22.4 * 10 = 224.
Here, X=21 and Y= 24.
So, the formula is = 2 * 21 * 24/21 + 24,
= 1008/45.
Here, your Answer = 22.4 * 10 = 224.

It may easily be by using averages for 10 hrs- (5*21)+(24*5) = 22.5.
And D = S*T.
22.5 * 10 = 225km
And D = S*T.
22.5 * 10 = 225km

WKT,
Average speed over two different speeds in the journey is;
Avg speed= (2XY/X+Y)km/h or M/S.
Where X is the speed during the first half (km/hr or m/s).
And Y is the speed during the second half (km/hr or m/s).
And WKT.
s= d/t and d=s*t.
Here Given
X=21 km/hr.
Y =24 km/hr.
And time over the whole jouneny is 10hrs,
Avg speed = (21*24)/(21+24),
= 22.4 km/hr.
And Total Distance =s*t.
22.4 * 10 = 224 km.
