Question

Man travelled twofifth of his journey by train,onethird by bus, one fourth by car and thr remaining 3 km by foot . What is the length of his total journey

Answer 1

Answer:

180 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total length of journey = x

By train = 2/5x

By bus = 1/3x

By car = 1/4x

By foot = 3km

(2/5)x + (1/3)x + (1/4)x + 3 = x

L. C. M of 5, 3 and 4 = 60

(24x + 20x + 15x) / 60 = x

24x + 20x + 15x + 180= 60x

24x + 20x + 15x - 60x = - 180

-x = - 180

x = 180

Hence, total length of journey = 180km
