Total time taken by a person in going to a place by walking and returning on cycle is 5 h 45 min. He would have gained 2 h by cycling both ways. The time taken by him to walk both ways, is?

Question

Accepted Answer

Walking time + Cycling time = 5 h 45 min = 345 min ....(i)
If he had cycled both way he would have gained 2 h (120 min).
∴ 2 x Cycling time = 345 - 120 = 225 min ...(ii)
Walking time = 2 x 345 - 225 = 690 - 225 = 465 min
Time taken by him to walk both ways = 7 h 45 min
