Question #1 Report Error
A man covers 3/5 of his total journey by rail at 40 km/h and the remaining 2/5 by bus at 30 km/h. If the total distance is 150 km, what is the total time taken?
A. 4.5 hours
B. 5 hours
C. 4 hours
D. 4.25 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Distance by rail = 150 * (3/5) = 90 km. Time by rail = 90 / 40 = 2.25 hours. Distance by bus = 150 - 90 = 60 km. Time by bus = 60 / 30 = 2 hours. Total time = 2.25 + 2 = 4.25 hours.
