The correct Answer is:
To find the distance between Delhi and Chandigarh, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Problem**: Neerja has traveled 270 km, which is stated to be 90% of the total distance between Delhi and Chandigarh. We need to find the total distance. 2. **Set Up the Equation**: Let the total distance between Delhi and Chandigarh be represented as \( x \) kilometers. According to the problem, 90% of this total distance is equal to 270 km. We can express this mathematically as: \[ 90\% \text{ of } x = 270 \] 3. **Convert Percentage to Decimal**: To work with the percentage, we convert 90% to a decimal. This is done by dividing by 100: \[ \frac{90}{100} \times x = 270 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0.9x = 270 \] 4. **Solve for \( x \)**: To find \( x \), we need to isolate it. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.9: \[ x = \frac{270}{0.9} \] 5. **Calculate the Value**: Now, we perform the division: \[ x = 270 \div 0.9 = 300 \] 6. **Conclusion**: The total distance between Delhi and Chandigarh is \( 300 \) kilometers. ### Final Answer: The distance between Delhi and Chandigarh is **300 km**. ---
