View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Given a jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey During the return journey, it takes 4 hrs with an increased speed 12 km/hr Let 'x' be the distance. Now, speed is given by distance/time. Here the difference between both speeds = 12 x/4 − x/6 = 12 3x − 2x/12 = 12 => x = 144 km Therefore, the distance travelled by the jeep in forward or return journey is x = 144 km.
