A farmer travelled a distance of 61 km in 9 hours. He travelled partly on foot @ 4 km/hr and partly on bicycle @ 9 km/hr. The distance travelled on foot is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the distance travelled on foot be x km.
Then, distance travelled on bicycle = (61 -x) km.
| So, | x | + | (61 -x) | = 9 |
| 4 | 9 |
9x + 4(61 -x) = 9 x 36
5x = 80
x = 16 km.

S = D/T.
4 = 61-x/9.
x = 16.
4 = 61-x/9.
x = 16.
