    (x/40)+(560-x)=19/2
    4x+560-x =160 x 19/2
    6x = 1920
    x = 320
    560-320=240 km

    Let, the car travels x km. in 40 kmph. and (560-x) km. in 160 kmph.Total time = 9.5hrs.
    By Condition, x/40+(560-x)/160 = 9.5 or, x=320 km.
    Hence, distance travelled at the speed of 160 kmph.=(560-320)km = 240km.
