Data Interpretation ( IBPS PO) Case Studies

Directions: Answer the question based on the information given below:

Stella, Tom, and Charlie started their journey at 8 a.m., 9 a.m., and 10 a.m. respectively. The ratio of the speed of Stella, Tom, and Charlie is s: 1.25s: 0.5s respectively. After starting his journey Tom meets Stella after 4 hours. After meeting each other both of them returned to Charlie.

Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- Tom’s speed is 4 km/h. That means in 5 hours, no matter what else is happening, Tom covers 4 km/h × 5 h = 20 km.

- The info about Stella and Charlie, and the ratios, isn’t needed to answer this question about how far Tom goes in 5 hours.

- The meeting time and ratio just serve as extra context—they don’t change what’s asked, since it’s Tom’s total distance after 5 hours at his given speed.

So, looking at the options:

- 20 km —? This is correct.

- 15 km — That would make sense if his speed was only 3 km/h.

- 12 km — That’d be 2.4 km/h.

- 16 km — That’s 3.2 km/h.

- None of these — Doesn’t apply.

So, the answer is Option 1: 20 km.
