Solution:

Let the distance travelled on foot = X km

,, the distance travelled on bicycle would be = (90 – X) km

Total time taken to cover the distance = 10 hrs

Time taken to cover the 110 km would be equal to the sum of the time taken to cover the distances partly on foot and partly on bicycle.

So,X9+110-X15= 10

5X + 3(110 -X) = 45 * 10

5X + 330 – 3X = 450

2X =450 – 330

2X = 120 X =1202= 60 km (Option A)
