Explanation:

Let total distance = 100x
Distance covered by car = 20% of 100x = 20x
Distance covered by Train = 5 /5 + 3 × 50% of (100x – 20x)
= 5/8 × 40 x = 25x
Distance covered by Taxi = 3/5+3 × 50% of (100x – 20x)
= 3/8 × 40 x = 15x
Distance covered on feet = 100x – 20x – 25x – 15x = 40x
Total distance covered by Car and Taxi = 20x + 15x
= 35x = 126 km (Given)
Length of journey = 100 × 126/35 = 360 km
