    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the appropriate time taken by Rahul to travel the distance be 't' hours. Let the distance travelled by Rahul be 'd' km. Using the given information, we have: 18(t+3) = 18t+54 = d 24t = d Equating the distances: 18t+54 = 24t 6t = 54 t = 9 Calculating the distance = d = 24t = 24×9 = 216 km
