                                3.
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.

                14:10
7:5
2 difference = 20,
So 20/2 = 10.
5*10 = 50 ans.

                14x-10x = 20.
4x = 20.
x = 5.
Actual distance = 10*5 = 50.
                4x = 20.
x = 5.
Actual distance = 10*5 = 50.
