At 8 km/hr, he covers 40% of $\frac{1}{2}$ × D = $\frac{1}{5}$D
The rest of the distance = D – $\frac{1}{2}$D – $\frac{1}{5}$D =

Option 1: 20 : 37

Option 2: 17 : 25

Option 3: 18 : 25

Option 4: 20 : 31

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 20 : 31


Solution : We know, Profit percent = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}} × 100$
Given,
Profit percent = 55%
⇒ $\frac{55}{100}=(\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}-1)$
⇒ $\frac{55}{100}+1=\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}$
⇒ $\frac{55+100}{100}=\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}$
⇒ $\frac{155}{100}=\frac{\text{Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}$
⇒ Selling price : Cost price = 31 :
