A man rides at the rate of 18 km/hr, but stops for 6 mins. to change horses at the end of every 7th km. The time that he will take to cover a distance of 90 km is
Speed of man = 18 km/h
Total distance = 90 km
As he stops after 7th km, => $$90=(12\times7)+6$$
=> He stops 12 times in the journey.
Total stoppage time = $$12\times6=72$$ min
Real time = $$\frac{90}{18}=5$$ hours
$$\therefore$$ Required time taken = 5hr + 72 min
= 6 hrs 12 min
