Question

Swapna travels by car equal distances with the speeds of 10 km/h, 15 km/h and 20 km/h and takes a total of 65 min. The total distance travelled by her (in km) is:

A.

10

B.

15

C.

12

D.

20

Correct option is B

Given:
Swapna travels equal distances at three different speeds:
Speed 1 v1v_1​  = 10 km/h
Speed 2 v2v_2​  = 15 km/h
Speed 3 v3 v_3​ = 20 km/h
Total time taken = 65 minutes =6560hours=1312 hours\frac{65}{60} \text{hours} = \frac{13}{12}\text{ hours}
Let, Distance traveled at each speed = d  km
Formulas Used:
Time taken for each part of the journey:
Time=DistanceSpeed\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
Solution:
 Time taken at 10 km/h:
t1=d10t_1 = \frac{d}{10}​​
Time taken at 15 km/h:
t2=d15t_2 = \frac{d}{15}​​
Time taken at 20 km/h:
t3=d20t_3 = \frac{d}{20}​​
t1+t2+t3=d10+d15+d20t_1 + t_2 + t_3 = \frac{d}{10} + \frac{d}{15} + \frac{d}{20}

6d60+4d60+3d60=13d60\frac{6d}{60} + \frac{4d}{60} + \frac{3d}{60} = \frac{13d}{60}

Now,

13d60=1312\frac{13d}{60} = \frac{13}{12}

d=6012=5 kmd = \frac{60}{12} = 5 \text{ km}

Total distance=3d=3×5=15 km\text{Total distance} = 3d = 3 \times 5 = 15 \text{ km}

Option (b) is right.
