One can use three different transports which move at 10, 20, and 30 kmph, respectively. To reach from A to B, Amal took each mode of transport 1/3 of his total journey time, while Bimal took each mode of transport 1/3 of the total distance. The percentage by which Bimal’s travel time exceeds Amal’s travel time is nearest to

  1. 21
  2. 22
  3. 20
  4. 19
Show Answer

Correct Answer: Option: 2

Let the total journey time taken by Amal be 3t hours.

Therefore, the total distance = 10t + 20t + 30t = 60t kms

Bimal took each mode of transport 1/3 of the total distance.

Therefore, total time taken by him = $\frac{20t}{10}+\frac{20t}{20}+\frac{20t}{30}=\frac{11t}{3}\ hours$

The percentage by which Bimal’s travel time exceeds Amal’s travel time $\left( \frac{\left( 11/3 \right)t-3t}{3t} \right)\times 100=22.22%$
