Question

If Boojho covers a certain distance in one hour and Paheli covers the same distance in two hours, who travels with a higher speed? [NCERT Exemplar; HOTS]

Answer 1

Answer:

here Bhoojo has higher speed

Answer 2

Answer:

Boojho travels with the higher speed.

Explanation:

Lets say the distance covered by both is d.

Then we know that,

Speed (v) = distance (d) / time taken (t)

Here,

Time taken (t) by Boojho is 1 hour

While, Time taken (t) by Paheli is 2 hours

Then, for Boojho

Speed = distance / time

v = d/1

And for Paheli,

Speed = distance / time

v = d/2

This means that, whatever speed Paheli will have will be the half of the distance. And whatever speed Boojho will have would be the same number as distance.

From this it is clear that, Boojho is the one having faster speed.
