Let time taken for uphill journey = x hrs
time taken for downhill journey = y hrs
As per given condition
Total time is 15 hours
So, x + y = 15 ..(i)
and a car goes uphill at the rate of 30 km an hour and downhill at the rate of 50 km an hour. It has covered 650 km.
So, 30x + 50y = 650 ..(ii)
Multiplying eq. (i) by 30 and substracting from eq. (ii), we get
20y = 650 - 450
20y = 200
y = 10
Putting y = 10 in eq. (i), we get
x + 10 = 15
x = 5
Downhill journey = 10 hours and uphill journey = 5 hours.
