      warehouse to the customer’s house. At a speed of 15 km/h, he arrives 18 minutes late. But when riding at a speed of (30/6) meters per second, he gets there just 6 minutes late. What is the distance between the warehouse and the customer’s house?
      A 12 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 32 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the distance be x km

      Time at 15 km/h: T1 = x/15 hours

      So, Speed = (30/6) × (18/5) = 18 km/h

      Now,

      T1 = x/15, T2 = x/18

      (x/15) - (x/18) = 12/60 = 1/5

      LCM of 15 and 18 is 90

      (6x - 5x)/90 = 1/5 → x/90 = 1/5

      So, x = 18 km
