Question

A person travels from chennai to pondicherry in cycle at 7.5 kmph. Another person travels the same distance in train at a speed of 30 kmph and reached 30 min earlier. Find the distance.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Distance between Chennai and Pondicherry is 5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of the cycle of 1st person = 7.5 km per hr

Speed of the train of 2nd person = 30 km per hr

Let x be the distance between Chennai and Pondicherry.

According to the Question,

$\frac{x}{7.5}-\frac{x}{30}=\frac{30}{60}$

$30x-7.5x=\frac{30}{60}\times30\times7.5$

$30x-7.5x=15\times7.5$

$22.5x=112.5$

$x=5$

Therefore, The Distance between Chennai and Pondicherry is 5 km.
