Avik, Kamal, and Tusher are best friends. Today, they decide to have some fun and race against each other. Avik runs twice as fast as Tusher. Kamal runs 4 times slower than Tusher. Unfortunately, due to some illness, Tusher could not join the race. However, Avik and Kamal are not willing to miss the fun. They started running at the same time. After some time, the distance between Kamal and Avik is 91 meters. Find the total of the distances they covered individually.

Well, it isn't completely precise in many areas. But, it's simple enough.
And also even if I defined variable A and K to be speeds of Avik and Kamrul respectively, the ratio of distances they covered will also be similar to the ratio of their speeds This is the reason this slight inaccuracy does not produce an incorrect answer. Therefore, this solution might not be entirely precise, but it's not incorrect at the same time.
Your solution is actually inaccurate. The difference of their speed does not equal to 9 1 m
Define the following variables:
The speed of Avik, Kamal and Tusher are v a , v k and v t respectively.
The distance Avik and Kamal ran are d a and d k respectively.
The time they ran is t .
From the given information, we know that:
Avik runs twice as fast as Tusher: v a = 2 v t ⟹ Eq.(1)
Kamal runs 4 times slower than Tusher: v k = 4 1 v t ⟹ v t = 4 v k ⟹ Eq.(2)
Substitute Eq.(2) into Eq.(1), we have:
v a = 2 ( 4 v k ) ⟹ v a = 8 v k ⟹ Eq.(3)
Next, we know that after running some time, the distance between Avik and Kamal is 9 1 m.
⟹ d a − d k = 9 1
We know that
Distance = Speed × Time
Therefore,
v a t − v k t = 9 1
Substitute Eq.(3) in here:
8 v k t − v k t = 9 1 7 v k t = 9 1 d k = 7 9 1 = 1 3
Calculate the final answer:
d a + d k = 9 1 + d k + d k = 9 1 + 2 ( 1 3 ) = 1 1 7

Let –
Tusher’s speed be T .
Avik’s speed be A .
Kamal’s speed be K .
A = 2 T
K = 4 T
A = 2 T
K = 4 T
Because,
2T = T/4*(4 * 2)
2T = T/4*(8)
A = K*8
so, A = 8K
Given,
A − K = 9 1 m
8 K − K = 9 1 m
7 K = 9 1 m
K = 7 9 1 m
K = 1 3 m
Total distance = A + K
= 8 K + K
= 9K
= 9 * (13 m)
= 117 m (ans.)
