Given:

Time for Complete journey = 14 hours 

\(1\over3\)th of the distance travelled with speed = 40km/h

Remaining Distance(\(2\over3\)th)travelled with speed = 60km/h

Formula: 

Time = Distance /Speed 

Calculation:

Let the total distance be x km.

⇒ \(x\over3\)/40 + \(2x\over 3\)/ 60 = 14

⇒ \(x\over 120\) + \(2x\over 180\) = 14 

⇒ \(3x+4x\over360\)= 14

⇒ \(7x\over360\) = 14 

⇒ x = 720 

 The Total Distance of his journey is '720 km'.
