    Question

    Two individuals, L and M, travel from point A to point B at

    different speeds. L takes 5 hours to complete the journey, while M takes 7 hours. The difference in their speeds is 6 km/h, with one traveling faster than the other. Determine the distance between points A and B.
    A 125 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 155 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 144 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 180 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;

    Let M's speed = 'm' km/h,

    L's speed = (m + 6) km/h

    Time ratio = M : L = 7 : 5

    Speed ratio = 5 : 7

    Using the given speed difference,

    m = 14 km/h

    Distance = Speed × Time = 14 × 7 = 98 km
