A man can walk at 6 km/h. After every kilometer, he takes a rest of 6 minutes. How much time will he take to cover a distance of 18 km?
A. 4 hours 42 minutes
B. 5 hours
C. 4 hours 30 minutes
D. 4 hours 48 minutes
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Pure walking time = 18 / 6 = 3 hours. Number of rest intervals = 18 - 1 = 17 intervals. Total rest time = 17 * 6 = 102 minutes = 1 hour 42 minutes. Total time = 3 hours + 1 hour 42 minutes = 4 hours 42 minutes.
