Walking at 14 km/h instead of 10 km/h, a person would have covered 20 km more in the same time. What is the actual distance he traveled?

Given data

• Faster speed = 14 km/h
• Actual speed = 10 km/h
• Extra distance at faster speed over the same time = 20 km

Concept / Approach

• Let the common time be T hours. Distance difference = (14 − 10) × T = 4T.
• Use 4T = 20 to find T, then actual distance = 10 × T.

Step-by-step calculation

Verification / Alternative

Common pitfalls

• Assuming time changed; the statement fixes time and varies speed.
• Confusing distance difference with speed ratio.
