How much time will it take for the man to cover a distance of 5 km if he is walking at a speed of 10 kmph and takes a 5-minute rest after every 1 km?
To calculate the total time, we need to consider both the time spent walking and the time spent resting.
First, let’s calculate the time spent walking. The man is walking at a speed of 10 kmph, which means he can cover 10 kilometers in one hour. Since he needs to cover a distance of 5 km, the time spent walking will be:
Time walking = Distance / Speed = 5 km / 10 kmph = 0.5 hours
Next, let’s calculate the time spent resting. The man takes a 5-minute rest after every 1 km. Since he is covering a distance of 5 km, he will take 4 rest periods. The total time spent resting will be:
Time resting = Number of rest periods * Rest duration = 4 * 5 minutes = 20 minutes = 20/60 hours = 1/3 hours
Now, let’s calculate the total time:
Total time = Time walking + Time resting = 0.5 hours + 1/3 hours = 5/6 hours
Therefore, it will take the man 5/6 hours to cover a distance of 5 km at a speed of 10 kmph with a 5-minute rest after every 1 km.
