Given :  During a trekking activity of 6km a student Ram will go to Sangam and return back up to 12  noon.

To find :   latest time by which Ram should begin his walk

Solution:

a trekking activity of 6km

=> total Distance = 6 km

One way Distance = 6/2 = 3 km

Going speed = 1.5 km/hr

Return speed = 1.5/2  km /hr

Time taken in going   = 3/1.5  = 2 hr

Time taken in return = 3/(1.5/2)  = 4 hr

Total Time Taken = 6 hr

To return by 12 Noon

he has to leave by 12 - 6 = 6 AM

latest by 6 AM Ram  can begin his walk so that he can return by 12 noon
