Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for time, which is distance divided by speed.

  1. Let's denote the time taken by Ramesh as T (in hours). Therefore, the time taken by Suresh is T - 6 (since Suresh takes 6 hours less than Ramesh).

  2. We know that they both travel the same distance, so we can set up the following equation using the formula for time:

Distance = Speed * Time

For Ramesh: Distance = 44 * T For Suresh: Distance = 77 * (T - 6)

Since the distances are the same, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

44 * T = 77 * (T - 6)

  1. Now, we just need to solve for T:

44T = 77T - 462 462 = 33T T = 14 hours

  1. Now that we know the time taken by Ramesh, we can find the distance:

Distance = Speed * Time = 44 * 14 = 616 km

So, the correct answer is ₹ 616.
