Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed of mohan be x km/h.
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the point where Ram and Mohan be A.
Ram takes 2 hours to reach Y from A at 18 kmph. So, distance between Y and A is 18×2 = 36 kms.
Let speed of Mohan be y kmph. He takes35 hours to reach X from A. So, the distance between X and A is 35×y = 35y kms.
So far, we have calculated:
Speed of Ram = 18 kmph
Speed of Mohan = y kmph
Distance between X and A = 35y kms.
Distance between Y and A = 36 kms.
When Ram walks from X to A, his speed is 18 kmph. So, time taken by him to reach A is 35y/18 = 35y/18 hours.
When Mohan walks from Y to A, his speed is y kmph. So, time taken by him to reach A is 36/y hours.
Time taken by Ram and Mohan to reach A from their initial positions should be same.
So, 35y/18 hours.= 35y/18 hours.
from here we get y=18
speed of Mohan=18
