A person covers a certain distance by bicycle at a speed of 15 km/h and returns on foot at a speed of 5 km/h. If the entire trip took 4 hours, find the total distance of the one-way journey.
A. 15 km
B. 20 km
C. 12 km
D. 18 km
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let the one-way distance be d. Time taken for forward journey = d / 15, and return journey = d / 5. Given: d/15 + d/5 = 4. Multiplying by 15: d + 3d = 60 => 4d = 60 => d = 15 km.
