Question

A man has to be at a certain place at a certain time. He finds that he shall be 20 minutes late if he walks at 3 km/h speed and 10 minutes earlier if he walks at a speed of 4 km/h_The distance he has to walk is​

Answer 1

0.5km or 500m

Explanation:

Given Distance = Speed x Time

In this case, we should use the difference in speed and time of the 2 scenarios.

Difference in Time = 20 mins(late) + 10 mins(early)

= 30 mins or 0.5 hour

Difference in Speed = 4km/h - 3km/h = 1km/h

Distance = 1km/h x 0.5 hr = 0.5km or 500m.
