Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Charge for first 2 km = Rs 25
The total cost of the journey = Rs 249
Calculation:
Cost of the journey for the first 2 km = 25
Cost of the remaining journey = 249 – 25 = 224
The cost of travelling 1 km after the first 2 km = Rs 8
In Rs 8 the distance travelled = 1 km
In Rs 224 the distance travelled = (1/8) × 224 = 28 km
The total distance of the journey = 2 km + 28 km = 30 km
∴ The distance between workplace and home is 30 km
