    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
