If a person walks at 14 km/hr instead of 10 km/hr, he would have walked 20 km more. The actual distance travelled by him is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the actual distance travelled be x km.
| Then, | x | = | x + 20 |
| 10 | 14 |
14x = 10x + 200
4x = 200
x = 50 km.

The actual distance should be the 10hr/km i.e. (50km ) + extra 20KM = 70 km?

Actual distance traveled be X km.
X/10 = X+20/14.
X = 50 kmph.
X/10 = X+20/14.
X = 50 kmph.

What is the meaning of actual here? Either 14 km/hr or 10 km/hr.

Distance = a/x-y *y.
20/14 - 10 * 10,
20/4 * 10 = 5 * 10 = 50km.
20/14 - 10 * 10,
20/4 * 10 = 5 * 10 = 50km.
