Question

(12) Ram and Shyam were 1600 miles apart and they
started running towards each other. Ram had run at a
speed of 30 mph, 4 hr per day for 5 days, when he had
met Shyam. If Shyam had run 8 hr per day for 5 days,
what was Shyam's speed?
a) 25 mph b) 20 mph c) 35 mph
d) 16 mph
e) 12 mph​

Answer 1

Answer:

option b) 25 mph

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance that Ram travelled:

$time = 4 \times 5 = 20 \\ speed = 30 \\ distance = 30 \times 20 = 600$

Distance that Shyam travelled:

$= 1600 - 600 \\ = 1000$

Speed at which Shyam travelled:

$time = 8 \times 5 = 40 \\ distance = 1000 \\ speed = \frac{1000}{40} = \frac{100}{4} = 25$
