Answer: C) 35 days Explanation: Distance d = 1200kmlet S be the speed he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs. S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph given 1 1/2 of previous speedso 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7 New speed = 12/7kmph Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day. time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs=> 490/14 = 35 days So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.
