A man starts moving from a place A and reaches the place B in 26 hours. He covers 1/3rd of the distance at the speed of 4 km/hr and covers the remaining distance at the speed of 5 km/hr. What is the distance (in km) between A and B?
Let the distance between A and B be = $$3d$$ km
Distance covered at the speed of 4 km/hr = $$\frac{1}{3}\times3d=d$$ km
Thus, remaining distance covered at the speed of 5 km/hr = $$(3d-d)=2d$$ km
Using, time = distance/speed
=> $$\frac{d}{4}+\frac{2d}{5}=26$$
=> $$\frac{(5d+8d)}{20}=26$$
=> $$d=26\times\frac{20}{13}$$
=> $$d=2\times20=40$$
$$\therefore$$ Distance between A and B (in km) = $$3\times40=120$$
