Question

A person takes 3 hours to walk a certain distance and riding back. He could walk both ways in 5 hours. How long could it take to ride both ways.

Options

• 1.5 hr

• 1 hr

• 0.5 hr

• 2 hrs

Answer 1

1 hr

Explanation:

A person walks both the way in = 5 hr

A person walks half the way in = 2.5 hr

i.e. he takes 2.5 hr while going and 5 hr while coming

when he rides both the way riding he takes = 0.5 × 2 = 1 hr
