Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Time Speed Distance: Knowing the relationship between speed and distance would help.

Here, the distance travelled by Sourav is constant in both the cases.
So,20 * t = 25 * (t-1) = D
=> 20t = 25t - 25
=> 5t = 25
=> t = 5 hrs So, Distance travelled = 20 * 5 = 100 Km.

The question is "What is the distance usually covered by him?"
