If he takes 5 hours in going and coming, what is the distance between his house and office?

3 km
4 km
5 km
6 km

Speed of House to Office is = 3 km/hr.

Speed of Office to House is = 2 km/hr.

Ratio of his speed = 3 : 2

Therefore, ratio of the time taken = 2 : 3

Distance between his house and office

= 2 $ \times$ 3 = 6 km
