A man travelled on train with the speed of 25km/hour to reach goal then he walked back to his starting point with speed of 4km. it took 5 hours and 48 mins. Total distance covered by the man?
***
let x=distance covered by the man
travel time=distance/speed
5 hr 48 min=5 4/5 hr=5.8 hr
..
x%2F25%2Bx%2F4=5.8
lcd:100
4x+25x=580
29x=580
x=20
distance covered by the man=20 miles
