here should be given that afer covering half distance, his bycycle broke down

Question:
I started on my bicycle at 7 a.m. to reach a certain place. After going a certain distance my bicycle went out of order. Consequently I rested for 35 minutes and came back to my house walking all the way. I reached my home at 1 p.m. If my cycling speed is 10 km/hr and my walking speed is 1 km/hr, then how much distance is  covered by me on my bicycle?
Options:
A) \(12\cfrac{3}{7}\) km
B) \(13\cfrac{4}{9}\) km
C) \(14\cfrac{3}{8}\) km
D) \(4\cfrac{61}{66}\) km
Solution:
Ans: (d)

D/10+D/1=5h25min now solve d=4 61/66

Nope. He covered a particular distance in cycle first. When the cycle go broke down, he walked back the same distance to home.

So 'distance covered in cycle = distance covered by foot';
that means 'distance covered in cycle = 1/2 total distance traveled'.
