Given:

Total time = 87 hours

Speed of the 1st half = 84 kmph

Speed of the 2nd half = 90 kmph

Formula used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Let total distance = D km

According to the question

D/2× 84 + D/ 2× 90 = 87

⇒ D/168 + D/180 = 87

⇒ (15D + 14D)/2520 =87

⇒ 29D = 87×2520

⇒ D = 7560

∴ The total distance is 7560 km.
