A person walks from his residence to his office at 4 km/h and arrives 15 minutes late. If he increases his speed to 6 km/h, he still arrives 5 minutes late. Find the distance.
A. 2 km
B. 3 km
C. 1.5 km
D. 2.5 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 15 - 5 = 10 minutes = 10 / 60 = 1/6 hour. Let distance be d. d/4 - d/6 = 1/6 => d/12 = 1/6 => d = 2 km.

C. 80 km
D. 100 km

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Time difference = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours. Let distance be d. d / 45 - d / 60 = 0.5 => (4d - 3d) / 180 = 0.5 => d / 180 = 0.5 => d = 90 km.
