Question

if a man walks at the rate of 5 kilometre per hour he misses a train by 7 minutes however if he walks at the rate of 6 kilometre per hour he reaches the station at 5 minutes earlier than the departure of the train calculate the distance covered by him to reach the station​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 km

Step-by-step explanation:

v 5:6

t 6:5

difference is 1 unit which is equal to 12 min

so time travelled by man at 6km/h is 5*12 min = 60min or 1 hour

so the distance is 6 km

Answer 2

Answer:

let the distance travelled be "x"

Step-by-step explanation:

difference between the time taken by man with 2 different speeds

= 7 + 5 =12 mins = 12/60 = 1/5 hrs

distance /speed = time

x/5 - x/6 = 1/5

x = 30/5 = 6 km Ans .
