Time, Speed and Distance

Question:

A man takes total T hours to covers a certain distance at the speed of x km/hr and comes back at y km/hr. Find the distance.

Options:

\(\frac{xy}{x+y}\)× T

\(\frac{x}{x+y}\)× T

\(\frac{y}{x+y}\)× T

\(\frac{xy}{x-y}\)× T

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{xy}{x+y}\)× T

Explanation:

Let the distance = d

ATQ,

⇒ \(\frac{d}{x}\) + \(\frac{d}{y}\) = T

⇒ d[\(\frac{x\;+\;y}{xy}\)] = T

⇒ d = \(\frac{xy}{x+y}\) × T
