Ravi has to go from Hyderabad to Delhi. The distance between Hyderabad and Delhi is 1,200 kms. He decides to travel 25% of the distance on foot, 30% of the distance by bus, 15% of the distance by train and the remaining distance by an airplane. What is the distance travelled by Ravi by an Airplane? Correct Answer 360 km
GIVEN :
Total Distance to be covered = 1200 kms.
Distance travelled on foot = 25%
Distance travelled by bus = 30%
Distance travelled by train = 15%
CONCEPT :
Remaining Distance travelled by airplane = Total Distance - (Distance travelled on foot + Distance travelled by bus + Distance travelled by train)
CALCULATION :
Let the Total distance be 100%.
According to question,
100% = 1200 Kms
Remaining Distance travelled by airplane = Total Distance - (Distance travelled on foot + Distance travelled by bus + Distance travelled by train)
⇒ 100% - (25% + 30% + 15%)
⇒ 100% - 70%
⇒ 30%
Remaining Distance = 30%
Now,
100% = 1200 Kms
∴ 30% = 1200 × (30/100) = 360
⇒ Remaining Distance = 360 Kms
∴ The distance travelled by Ravi by an Airplane is 360 Km.
