Archana starts journey from Delhi at 8 am for Jaipur. Her car is running at a speed of $x$ km/hr . If at 1 pm, she observes that she is 20 km away from Jaipur, find the distance between Delhi and Jaipur.

Given:

Speed of the car$=x\ km/hr$

Archana starts journey from Delhi at 8 am for Jaipur. At 1 pm, she observes that she is 20 km away from Jaipur.
 To do:

We have to find the distance between Delhi and Jaipur.

Solution:

We know that,

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

From 8 am to 1 pm, the distance travelled in 5 hours$=5\times x\ km=5x\ km$

Distance away from Jaipur at 1 pm$=20\ km$.

Therefore,

The total distance between Delhi and Jaipur$=5x+20\ km$.
