Correct Answer - Option 1 : 60 kilometers

Given:

Kishore covers 2/5 of the total distance by car

He covers 8/15 of the total distance by cycle

He covers the remaining distance by walking at 6 km/h in 40 minutes

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Let the total distance covered by Kishore be D km

Remaining distance covered by walking = D – 2D/5 – 8D/15

⇒ (15D – 6D – 8D)/15

⇒ D/15

Kishore covers the remaining distance by walking at 6 km/h in 40 minutes

40 minutes = 40/60 hours

⇒ D/15 = 6 × (40/60)

⇒ D = 15 × 4 

⇒ D = 60 

Total distance covered by Kishore = D km

⇒ 60 km

∴ The total distance covered by Kishore is 60 kilometers
