45 km​

Answer 1

Given:

Prem and Shyam travel the same distance at the speeds of 12 kmph and 15 kmph respectively.

Prem takes 5 minutes longer than Shyam

To find:

The distance travelled by each

Solution:

Since both of them travel the same distance, so,

Let "d" km represents the distance travelled by each of them.

The speed at which Prem travels = 12 km/hr

The speed at which Shyam travels = 15 km/hr

We know,

$\boxed{\bold{Time = \frac{Distance }{Speed} }}$

Therefore, we can form an equation as:

$\frac{d}{12} - \frac{d}{15} = \frac{5}{60}$

$\implies \frac{5d - 4d}{60} = \frac{5}{60}$

$\implies 5d - 4d = 5$

$\implies d = 5\:km$

Thus, each of them travels a distance of 5 km.
