24. A train covered a certain distance at a uniform speed. If the train would have been
6 km/h faster, it would have taken 4 hours less than the scheduled time. And, if the
train were slower by 6 km/hr; it would have taken 6 hours more than the scheduled
time. Find the length of the journey.
25. Anuj had some chocolates, and he divided them into two lots A and B. He sold the
first lot at the rate of ₹2 for 3 chocolates and the second lot at the rate of ₹1 per
chocolate, and got a total of ₹400. If he had sold the first lot at the rate of ₹1 per
chocolate, and the second lot at the rate of ₹4 for 5 chocolates, his total collection
would have been ₹460. Find the total number of chocolates he had.
