If I walk at 5 km/hr. I miss a train by ...

If I walk at 5 km/hr. I miss a train by 7 minutes. However, if I walk at 6 km/hr I reach the station 5 minutes before the departure of the train. The distance between my house and the station is.
यदि मैं 5 किमी/घंटा की गति से चलता हूँ, तो मेरी रेलगाड़ी 7 मिनट पहले छूट जाती है। परंतु यदि मैं 6 किमी/घंटा की गति से चलता हूँ तो मैं रेलगाड़ी के रवाना होने से 5 मिनट पहले स्टेशन पहुँच जाता हूँ। मेरे घर और स्टेशन के बीच दूरी कितनी है?

A

5 किमी

B

6.5 किमी

C

7 किमी

D

6 किमी

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the distance between the house and the station based on the given walking speeds and the time differences. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Variables**: Let the distance between the house and the station be \( d \) kilometers. 2. **Calculate Time Taken at Different Speeds**: - When walking at 5 km/hr, the time taken to reach the station is \( \frac{d}{5} \) hours. - When walking at 6 km/hr, the time taken to reach the station is \( \frac{d}{6} \) hours. 3. **Set Up the Time Difference**: According to the problem: - At 5 km/hr, the person misses the train by 7 minutes, which means they arrive 7 minutes late. - At 6 km/hr, the person arrives 5 minutes early. - The total time difference between these two scenarios is \( 7 + 5 = 12 \) minutes. 4. **Convert Minutes to Hours**: Since we need to work in hours, convert 12 minutes to hours: \[ 12 \text{ minutes} = \frac{12}{60} \text{ hours} = \frac{1}{5} \text{ hours} \] 5. **Set Up the Equation**: The time difference between the two speeds can be expressed as: \[ \frac{d}{5} - \frac{d}{6} = \frac{1}{5} \] 6. **Find a Common Denominator**: The least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30. Rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{6d - 5d}{30} = \frac{1}{5} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{d}{30} = \frac{1}{5} \] 7. **Solve for \( d \)**: To find \( d \), cross-multiply: \[ d = 30 \times \frac{1}{5} = 6 \] 8. **Conclusion**: The distance between the house and the station is \( 6 \) kilometers. ### Final Answer: The distance between my house and the station is **6 km**.

To solve the problem, we need to find the distance between the house and the station based on the given walking speeds and the time differences. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Variables**: Let the distance between the house and the station be \( d \) kilometers. 2. **Calculate Time Taken at Different Speeds**: ...
