Mohan finishes a journey by scooter in 5 hours. He travels the first half of the journey at 30 km/h and the second half of the journey at 20 km/h. The distance covered by him is:
Let the total distance covered by Mohan = d
Time taken by Mohan to cover the first half =Â $$\frac{\frac{d}{2}}{30}$$ =Â $$\frac{d}{60}$$ hours
Time taken by Mohan to cover the second half =Â $$\frac{\frac{d}{2}}{20}$$ =Â $$\frac{d}{40}$$ hours
Total time for the journey = 5 hours
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{d}{60}+\frac{d}{40}=5$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{2d+3d}{120}=5$$
$$\Rightarrow$$ $$\frac{5d}{120}=5$$
$$\Rightarrow$$Â d = 120 km
$$\therefore\ $$Distance covered by Mohan = 120 km
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
