Correct Answer: 77 km


Solution : Let the distance travelled on foot as \(x\) km and the distance travelled on bicycle as \(110 - x\) km.
The time taken to travel on foot is \(\frac{x}{6}\) hours and the time taken to travel on bicycle is \(\frac{110 - x}{14}\) hours.
Given that the total time taken is 11 hours,
$⇒\frac{x}{6} + \frac{110 - x}{14} = 11$
\(⇒7x + 3(110 - x) = 462\)
\(⇒x = 33\)
The distance travelled on foot is 33 km.
Therefore, the distance travelled by bicycle = 110 – 33 = 77 km
Hence, the correct answer is 77 km.
