Correct Answer: 12 km
Solution : Total distance = 42 km Total time = 5 hours Speed when he travelled on foot = 6 km/h Speed when he travelled on bicycle = 10 km/h Time = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ Let the distance travelled on foot be $d$. Time taken on foot + Time taken on bicycle = Total time taken ⇒ $\frac{d}{6} + \frac{(42 – d)}{10} = 5$ ⇒ $\frac{d × 5 + 3 × (42 – d)}{30} = 5$ ⇒ $5d + 126 - 3d = 5 × 30$ ⇒ $2d + 126 = 150$ ⇒ $d = 12$ km $\therefore$ The distance travelled on foot is 12 km. Hence, the correct answer is 12 km.
