30 / s + 30 / 2s = 6
2s = 15

Time is in the ratio 2:1 :: to: fro office

Therefore, 2x+1x=6 hrs

Time take to come back - 2 hrs, distance travelled - 30km => Speed = 15kmph

30=s1 x t1 ; 30=2s1 x t2; So, s1 x t1 = 2s1 x t2 or t1 = 2t2 and t1 + t2 = 6

so we get s1 = 15/2 & s2 = 2 x 15/2 = 15.

A. 5.
B. 10.
C. 14.
D. 15.
E. 20.


We can let the distance each direction = 30, the rate to work = r, and the rate from work = 2r.

Thus, the time going to work = 30/r and the time coming home from work = 30/2r = 15/r. Thus:

30/r + 15r = 6

45/r = 6

45 = 6r

7.5 = r

Thus, the speed on the way back from work is 2 x 7.5 = 15 mph.

Answer: D
