Correct Answer

Explanation

Solution:

Let the distance in the two cases be y and 2y respectively and the speed be z and 2z respectively.Let the required number of days be x.

more distance,more days(Direct proportional)

More speed ,less days(indirect proportional)

more resting,more days.(Direct proportional)

Distance y:2y::40:x

speed 2z:z::40:x

Resting time 9:18::40:x

y×2z×9x=2yz×18×40

x=2yz×18×40/y×2z×9

x=80

Hence the required number of days=80
