Ram walked at 5 km/hr for certain part of journey and then he took a train for the remaining part of journey travelling at 50 km/hr. If he took 6 hours for the entire journey then find time journey he travelled by train if average speed was 24 km/hr?
1). 140/50
2). 139/50
3). 138/50
4). 137/50
Average speed = total distance/total time.
⇒ total distance = 24 × 6 = 144 km
Total distance = distance on foot + distance by train
⇒ distance by train = 144 – 5 = 139 km
∴ Time taken in train journey = 139/50 hr
