A cyclist rides from his village to town at 16 km/h and returns at 12 km/h. If the entire journey takes 7 hours, what is the distance from the village to the town?
Explanation:
When X covers 200m, Y covers 180m. When Y covers 200m, Z covers 190m. Thus, when Y covers 180m, Z covers 190 * (180 / 200) = 171m. Therefore, when X covers 200m, Z covers 171m. X beats Z by 200 - 171 = 29 meters.
A motor car finishes a journey in 6 hours. It covers the first half of the distance at 40 km/h and the second half at 20 km/h. Find the total distance covered.
