Question A company in Mumbai organises cycle rallies from Mumbai to Panjim, Goa every year. They aim to cover 576 km in 12 days.
(а) How much distance should they cycle every day, to cover the distance evenly?
(b) After reaching Ratnagiri, they rest for 1 day. How much distance should they cycle each day to reach Goa in 4 days? Assume that they cover the distance evenly.
(a) The distance they should cycle every day = 576 ÷ 12 = 48 km
(b) Distance from Ratnagiri to Goa = 232 km
The distance they should cycle each day to reach Goa in 4 days = 232 ÷ 4 = 58 km.
