Question:

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?

Options:

7 km

7.2 km

7.5 km

7.8 km

Correct Answer:

7.5 km

Explanation:

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
