Practicing Success
If a person goes from home to his college at a speed of 12 km/h, he reaches 7 minutes early. If he goes at a speed of 8 km/h, he reaches 14 minutes late. What is the distance between his home and his college? |
9.2 km 9.6 km 8.4 km 7.6 km |
8.4 km |
Let distance = X km Time difference = 14 - (-7) = 21 minutes According to question , \(\frac{X}{8}\) - \(\frac{X}{12}\)= \(\frac{21}{60}\) \(\frac{X}{24}\) = \(\frac{21}{60}\) X = 8.4 km So , Distance is 8.4 km |
