Practicing Success
Two men P and Q start together from place A at 3 km/h and 3.75 km/h respectively for place B. Q reaches half an hour before P. What is the distance that each one has covered? |
7 km 7.2 km 7.5 km 7.8 km |
7.5 km |
Let the distance = a According to the question, = \(\frac{a}{3}\) - \(\frac{a}{3.75}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 2.5a - 2a = 3.75 = .5a = 3.75 a = 7.5 km |
