Question
A cyclist travels at a speed of 8km/h. Had he travelled at 16km/h he would have covered a distance of 64 km more. What is the total distance travelled by him?
A
64 km.
B
65 km.
C
63 km.
D
66 km.
Soln.
Ans: a
Ans: a
By the given problem, the time is same for both cases. If the total distance covered by him at 8km/h is x, then, $x/8 = {x + 64}/16$. Solving, we obtain x = 64 km.
