Question: If man pays 20 for each km which he travels by taxi
and 10 for each km which he travels by bus. If in one
week he payed 800 for traveling 60 km. How many kilometers did he travel by taxi ?
Options:
(A) 23
(B) 78
(C) 27
(D) 29
(E) 20 Let's think first. Some random reasoning:
Let the distance covered by the taxi be 'x' km. Then, distance covered by bus = (60 x) km. 20x + 10 (60 x)20x + 600 10x = 800 10x = 200 x = 20 km. He traveled 20 km by taxi. The final answer: (E).
