Question

Ramu goes to his college from his house at a speed of 2 km/h and returns at a speed of 3 km/h. If he takes 5 h in going and coming, the distance between his house and college is:

A.

7.5 km

B.

6 km

C.

5 km

D.

7 km

Correct option is B

Given:
Speed while going (S1) = 2 km/h
Speed while returning (S2) = 3 km/h
Total time (T) = 5 hours
Formula Used:
Total time (T)=DS1+DS2\text {Total time }(T) = \frac{D}{S_1} + \frac{D}{S_2}​​
Solution:
5=D2+D35=3D6+2D65=5D630=5DD=6km5 = \frac{D}{2} + \frac{D}{3}\\5 = \frac{3D}{6} + \frac{2D}{6}\\5 = \frac{5D}{6}\\30 = 5D\\D = 6 km\\

Thus, the distance between Ramu's house and college is 6 km
