Step-by-step explanation:
Let the distance from their house to the park be d metres.
Speed of Ravi = 5.4 km/ph = (5.4)(5/18) = 1.5 m/s
Speed of Sangeeta = 7.2 km/ph = (7.2)(5/18) = 2 m/s.
Time taken by Ravi to cover the distance = (d/s) = (d/1.5) seconds.
Time taken by Sangeeta to cover the same distance = (d/s) = (d/2) seconds.
Given d/1.5 = d/2 + 24
=> 4d = 3d + 144 by multiplying by 6
=> d=144
So, the distance from their house to the park be 144 metres.
