If sohail walks from his home to office at 16km/hr.he is late by 5 min.If he walks at 20km/hr.he reaches 10 min before the office time. Find the distance of his office from his home?

(a)22km
(b)20km
(c)18km
(d)16km

• (b) 20km
  If the distance=x, then
  (x/16)-(1/12)=(x/20)+(1/6)
  On solving, x=20

• In this problem distance is same..
  d = 16(x+1/12)(1/12 hr =5 mins) --------> I
  d = 20(x-1/6) (1/6 hr = 10 mins) --------> II
  equating I and II equations we get,
  x=7/6
  
  so d = 16(7/6 + 1/12) = 20 Km
