Raman drove from home to a neighbouring town at the speed of 50 km/hr and on his return journey, he drove at the speed of 45 km/hr and also took an hour longer to reach home. What distance did he cover each way?
A)450 km
B)225 km
C)900 km
D)500 km
E) None of these

• A) 450 km
  
  If distance Raman drove on each way=x km, then
  x/45=(x/50)+1
  x/9=(d+50)/10
  x=450

• x/45-x/50=1
  or,(10x-9x)/450=1
  x=450

• a) 450
  50*x=45(x+1)
  5x=45 => x=9
  50*9=450

• since distance is constant:
  so,speed is inversely proportional to time
  given,
  s1=50
  s2=45
  s1/s2=50/45---->10/9
  s1/s2=10/9
  s1/s2=t2/t1(inversely proportion)
  therefore,t1/t2=9/10
  distance=s1*t1 or distance=s2*t2
  d=50*9 or d=45*10
  d=450.
