If the man walks at the rate of 5 kmph, he misses a train by 7 minutes. However, if he walks at the rate of 6 kmph, he reaches the station 5 minutes before the arrival of the train. Find the distance covered by him to reach the station.
Answer/Solution
6
Steps/Work
Let the distance be x
Difference Between time = 12 min, which is 12/60 in hour which is 1/5
Now x/5-x/6 = 1/5
6x-5x/30 = 1/5
x/30 = 1/5
x = 30/5
x=6 So the required distance = 6
ANSWER:C
Difference Between time = 12 min, which is 12/60 in hour which is 1/5
Now x/5-x/6 = 1/5
6x-5x/30 = 1/5
x/30 = 1/5
x = 30/5
x=6 So the required distance = 6
