Practicing Success
A and B leave from point M at the same time towards point N. B reaches N and starts towards M instantly. He meets A at point O (between M and N). The distance between M and N is 245 km. If the speeds of A and B are 26 km/h and 65 km/h, respectively, then what is the distance between O and N? |
115 km 105 km 95 km 140 km |
105 km |
Time taken by B yo reach at N = \(\frac{245}{65}\) = \(\frac{49}{13}\) hours Distance covered by A in \(\frac{49}{13}\) hours = 26 × \(\frac{49}{13}\) = 98 km Now distance between A and B = 245 - 98 = 147 km Time taken by them to meet at point O = \(\frac{147}{ 65 + 26}\) = \(\frac{147}{ 91}\) = \(\frac{21}{ 13}\) hours Distance between O and N = \(\frac{21}{ 13}\) × 65 = 105 km
