A person walks from his home to his office at 5 km/h and reaches 10 minutes late. If he walks at 6 km/h, he reaches 2 minutes late. Find the distance.
A. 3.5 km
B. 5.0 km
C. 4.5 km
D. 4.0 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Time difference = 10 - 2 = 8 minutes = 8/60 = 2/15 hour. Let distance be d. d / 5 - d / 6 = 2/15 => d / 30 = 2/15 => d = 4 km.
