A traveller makes 3/4 of his journey by train and 2/3 of the rest by car. If he walks the remaining 12 Kms, the total distance traveled by him is



a) 124 Kms b) 134 Kms c) 144 Kms d) 244 Kms e) None of the above

• it is 144 km
  
  (1-(3/4))(1-(2/3)of distance = 12 km
  
  (1/12) of distance = 12 km
  
  Hence distance = 144 km

• ans is c)144 kms
  let the total dist be X
  (3/4)X+[(2/3)(X-(3/4)X)]+12=X
  X=144 kms
  
  
  
  X=144 kms

• If x is total journey , then
  x*1/4 *1/3 = 12
  x= 12*12= 144 kms

• let total distance be X
  NOW TRAVELLER COVERS 3/4TH distance by train so 1/4th is covered by other emans which include car and walk together
  
  2/3rd of (X/4) IS X/6 ....THIS DISTANCE IS COVERED BY CAR
  
  Remaining distance is covered by walking = X/4 - X/6 = X/12
  
  we KNOW X/4 = DISTANCE COVERED BY BOTH CAR AND WALKING
  X/6 = DISTANCE COVERED BY CAR
  X/12= 12
  X=144 Ans.

• Suppose distance traveled by traveller is x
  then,
  3x/4 + 2/3*(x-3x/4) +12 = x
  11x + 144 =12x
  x = 144 kms

• c) 144 km
  
  Let total distance is x km.
  x=x*3/4 + x*(1/3)*(2/3) +12
  12x=11x+144
  x=144

• x=3x/4+x/4
  x/4=2x/3+x/3
  x/3=12
  x=36
  2x/3=24
  x/4=24+12=36
  3x/4=108
  x=108+36=144
