Ravi goes to school at a speed of 5 km/h and returns home at 3 km/h. If the total time taken is 2 hours, what is the distance between his home and school?

  1. 2.75 km

  2. 3.25 km

  3. 3.75 km

  4. 4.25 km

Answer: C

Solution

Let the one-way distance be d km. Then \(\frac{d}{5}+\frac{d}{3}=2\). Therefore, \(\frac{8d}{15}=2\), so d = 30 ÷ 8 = 3.75 km.
