Given:

Speed from Delhi to Jamnagar (S1) = 80 km/hr

Speed from Jamnagar to Delhi (S2) = 82 km/hr

Total time taken (T) = 162 hours

Formula Used:

Time = Distance / Speed

Let the distance between Delhi and Jamnagar be D km.

Time taken to travel from Delhi to Jamnagar (T1) = D / S1

Time taken to travel from Jamnagar to Delhi (T2) = D / S2

Total time (T) = T1 + T2

Calculation:

T = T1 + T2

162 = (D / 80) + (D / 82)

⇒ 162 = D × (1/80 + 1/82)

⇒ 162 = D × ((82 + 80) / (80 × 82))

⇒ 162 = D × (162 / 6560)

⇒ D = 162 × (6560 / 162)

⇒ D = 6560

∴ The distance between Delhi and Jamnagar is 6560 km.
