Question
Two vans ‘K’ and ‘L’ start at the same time from
towns ‘G’ and ‘H’ towards each other. When they meet after 6 hours, van ‘L’ has travelled 96 km more than van ‘K’. What is the distance covered by van ‘K’ in 4 hours if the total distance between the towns is 576 km?Solution
ATQ,
Let distance travelled by van ‘K’ at the time of meet = x km
So, distance travelled by van ‘L’ at the time of meet = x + 96 km
According to question;
x + x + 96 = 576
Or, 2x = 480
Or, x = 240
Distance travelled by van ‘K’ in 6 hours = 240 km
Speed of van ‘K’ = 240 / 6 = 40 km/h
Distance travelled by van ‘K’ in 4 hours = 40 × 4 = 160 km
