  1. let the speed of the car be xkm/h during the up journey…
    total distance travelled ill remain same ,ie
    7*x=(x+12)*5
    or,x=30 km/hr
    so distance travld= 7*30=210;

  2. Let the speed is X km per hour
    so total journey = 7 x X = 7X
    so 7X = 5(X+12)
    7X – 5X = 60
    X = 30
    So, Total journey = 7 x 30 = 210 k.
    30 x 7 = 210 k.
    (30+12) = 42 x 5 = 210 km.
