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:
50 km
56 km
70 km
80 km
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.
