vikas sharma  (9 years ago)

Let the dist traveled on level ground = x and on the hill be y.
x/4 + y/3 + y/6 + x/4 = 6
(x+y)/2 = 6km

here we dont know exact dis....so ..let consider the dis travelled on road is X ...and dis on upward slope area is Y...so....toatal time is. 6 hrs...then...X/4+ Y/3 + X/4 +Y/6 = 6
(X+Y)/2 = 6...here we need distance he covered in one way.....so X+Y = 12.....

akshita  (9 years ago)

his speeds are 4km/hr , 3km/hr ,6km/hr , again back to home with a speed of 4km/hr.
as he is asking only one way distance,we need not consider the return speed 4km/hr to home.
his journey is totally 3pm to 9pm ------> 6hrs
hence if we take 4km/hr * 2hrs + (3km/hr*1hr) + 6km/hr * 1hr + (4km/hr *2 hrs) = 17 km of distance
neglecting the return distance of (4km/hr *2 hrs) ------> 17km - 8km = 9km in one way

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (1) | No (4)  

vidya  (9 years ago)

Let the distance travelled by him is: x
Total time taken to walk : 6 hrs
x/4+x/3+x/6+x/4=6
6x+8x+4x+6x=144
then x=6km
ans is 6km
