Question
X started to run from point βAβ to βBβ at a
speed of 23 km/hr at 9:00 am and Y started to run from point βBβ to βAβ at a speed of 20 km/hr at 11:00 am. If they meet each other at 3:00 pm then find the distance between points βAβ and βBβ.Solution
Distance covered by X in 2 hours = 23 Γ 2 = 46 km Relative speed of X and Y = 23 + 20 = 43 km/hr Sum of distance covered by both in 4 hours = 43 Γ 4 = 172 km Total distance between points βAβ and βBβ = 46 + 172 = 218 km
