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.

If he is going at 10km/hr the distance is 10*t.
If he is going at 14km/hr the distance is 14*t.
The difference = 20km.
14t-10t = 20,
4t = 20.
t = 5 hours.
Now, actual distance = 10 * 5.
= 50 km.
But,
The actual distance travelled by him is : 14 * 5 = 70 Km.
If he is going at 14km/hr the distance is 14*t.
The difference = 20km.
14t-10t = 20,
4t = 20.
t = 5 hours.
Now, actual distance = 10 * 5.
= 50 km.
But,
The actual distance travelled by him is : 14 * 5 = 70 Km.
