x ⇐ ⇒ y Rohit → 14 km/h Riya → 10 km/h ⇒ ⇐ Let both travelled for x hours Distance covered by Rohit = 14 x Distance covered by Riya = 10 x 14 x - 10 x = .625 4 x = .625 x = .15625 h Distance covered by Rohit = 14 x = 14 × .15625 = 2.1875 Distance covered by Riya = 10x = 10 × .15625 = 1.5625 Total distance between A & B = 2.1875 + 1.5625 = 3.75 km |
