Question : Durga walks 5 km from her home to school in 60 minutes, then bicycles back home along the same route at 15 km/hr. Her sister Smriti makes the same round trip but does so at half of Durga's average speed. How much time does Smriti spend on her round trip?

Option 1: 120 minutes

Option 2: 40 minutes

Option 3: 160 minutes

Option 4: 80 minutes

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 160 minutes


Solution : Durga's walking speed = 5 km/hr and her speed in bicycle = 15 km/hr
Distance between home and school = 5 km
$\therefore$ Her average speed = $\frac{2xy}{x+y}= \frac{2\times5\times15}{5+15} = 7.5$ km/hr
So, Smriti's speed = $\frac{7.5}2=3.75$ km/hr
$\therefore$ Time taken by Smriti on
