Correct Answer: 16 km
Solution : Let distance between Ram's school and his house is D km and the actual time taken by Ram to reach his school from his home is $t$ minutes. Distance = 12 × $\frac{t+12}{60}$ -----------(i) Distance = 16 × $\frac{t-8}{60}$ -----------(ii) From (i) and (ii), 12 × $\frac{t+12}{60}$ = 16 × $\frac{t-8}{60}$ ⇒ $12t + 144 = 16t - 128$ ⇒ $4t = 144+ 128$ ⇒ $t = \frac{272}{4} = 68$ minutes Distance = 12 × $\frac{t+12}{60}$ = 12 × $\frac{68+12}{60}$ = $\frac{80}{5}$ = 16 km Hence, the correct answer is 16 km.
