Rahat completes a journey in 10 hours. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km. Correct Answer 224 km
Total time taken = 10 hrs Let the time taken for first half of journey = x hours So, 21x = (10 – x) <math xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mo>×</mo></math> 24 or, 21x = 240 – 24x or, 45x = 240 or, x = <math xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mn>21</mn><mo> </mo><mo>×</mo> <mo> </mo><mfrac><mn>48</mn><mn>9</mn></mfrac><mo> + </mo><mn>24</mn><mo> </mo><mfenced><mrow><mn>10</mn><mo> - </mo><mo> </mo><mfrac><mn>48</mn><mn>9</mn></mfrac></mrow></mfenced></math> Hence, total journey = 21x + (10 - x) 24 <math xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mfrac><mn>42</mn><mn>9</mn></mfrac></math> = 21x + (10 – x) 24 = 112 + 112 = 224 km
