Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3 km Given: Distance is travelled by a person equally with the speed of 4 km/hr, 6 km/hr and 8 km/hr respectively Total time taken = 32.5 minutes Formula used: Time = Distance/Speed 1 hour = 60 minutes Calculation: Let the equal distance be D km Then total distance = 3D Now, the total time is taken = 32.5 minutes ⇒ (D/4) + (D/6) + (D/8) = (32.5/60) hrs ⇒ (6D + 4D + 3D)/24 = 32.5/60 ⇒ 13D = 32.5 × 24/60 ⇒ D = (32.5 × 24)/(60 × 13) ⇒ D = 1 km Total distance = 3 × 1 ⇒ 3 km. ∴ The total distance travelled by him is 3 km |
