Menu and Daya travel from point A to B, a distance of 105 km, at speeds of 10 km/h and 25 km/h, respectively. Daya reaches point B first and returns immediately and meets Menu at point C. Find the distance from point A to point C. |
35 km 60 km 45 km 62 km |
60 km |
Speed of Menu = 10 km / hr. Speed of Daya = 25 km/ hr. Total distance b/w A & B = 105 km Daya covered 105 km and returns immediately. Daya reaches the other end of B ie the time taken to travel 105 km is = \(\frac{105}{25}\) = 4.2 hours So , in 4.2 hours distance traveled by Menu= 10 x 4.2 = 42 km. Remaining distance to be covered by Menu = 105 – 42 = 63 kms. As , both now travel in opposite direction . So relative speed 25 + 10 = 35 km/h So, the time taken to meet each other = \(\frac{63}{35}\) =1.8 hrs Distance covered by Menu in 1.6 hours is 10 x 1.8 = 18 km Now the distance AC is 42 + 18 = 60 kms.
