Expert Answer:
Distance 4a km is covered at 90 km/hr.
Time taken = 4a/90 hr
Distance 3a km is covered at 20 km/hr.
Time taken = 3a/20 hr
Distance a km is covered at 10 km/hr.
Time taken = a/10 hr
Total time taken = (4a/90 + 3a/20 +a/10) hr
Total distance covered = 4a +3a + a = 8a km
Distance 3a km is covered at 20 km/hr.
Time taken = 3a/20 hr
Distance a km is covered at 10 km/hr.
Time taken = a/10 hr
