ans : 3

The total time of journey = 5 hours.

Let 'x' hours be the time that I travelled at 40 kmph

Therefore, 5–x hours would be time that I travelled at 60 kmph.

Hence, I would have covered x×40+(5−x)60 kms in the 5 hours = 240 kms.

Solving, for x in the equation 40x+(5–x)×60=240, we get

40x+300–60x=240

⇒20x=60 or x= 3 hours
