Arpit completes a journey in 10 hours. He covers half of the distance at 30 km/h, and the remaining half of the distance at 70 km/h. What is the length of the journey?
Let's assume the length of the total journey is '2d' km.
Arpit completes a journey in 10 hours. He covers half of the distance at 30 km/h.
Let's assume the time taken is 't' hours when speed is 30 km/h.
$$speed=\ \frac{distance}{time}$$
$$30 = \ \frac{d}{t}$$
$$t = \ \frac{d}{30}$$Â Â Eq.(i)
the remaining half of the distance at 70 km/h.
$$speed=\ \frac{distance}{time}$$
$$70 = \ \frac{d}{10-t}$$
$$10-t = \ \frac{d}{70}$$
$$10-\frac{d}{70}Â = t$$Â Â Â Eq.(ii)
So Eq.(i) = Eq.(ii)
$$\frac{d}{30} =Â 10-\frac{d}{70}$$
$$\frac{d}{30}+\frac{d}{70}=10$$
$$\frac{7d+3d}{210}=10$$the length of the total journey = '2d' km
= $$2\times210$$ km
= 420Â km
