Correct Answer: 22
Solution : Speed of students goes to school = $5\frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{2}$ km/hr Speed of students in returns = 4 km/hr Time taken to complete the entire journey = $4\frac{3}{4} = \frac{19}{4}$ hours Distance = Speed × Time Let the distance be $D$ km. According to the question $\frac{D}{(\frac{11}{2})} + \frac{D}{4} = \frac{19}{4}$ $⇒\frac{2D}{11} + \frac{D}{4} = \frac{19}{4}$ $⇒\frac{(8D + 11D)}{44} = \frac{19}{4}$ $⇒\frac{19D}{44} = \frac{19}{4}$ $\therefore D = 11$ The total distance covered by the student = Time taken to going school + Time taken to return = (11 + 11) km = 22 km Hence, the correct answer is 22 km.
