A student walks from his house at 10 km/hr and reaches his school late by 6 minutes. Next day, he increases his speed by 15 km/hr and reaches 4 minutes before school time. How far is the school from his house?
12 km
9 km
5 km
10 km
8 km
Speeds = 10 : 15 => 2: 3
Here the distance is same,
Time = 3: 2
Difference between the times = 6+4 => 10 minutes
As per the observation,
i unit = 10 minutes
3 units = 30 minutes or 1/2 hour
Distance = 10 x 1/2 => 5 Km
