Given:

  • Suresh, Dinesh and Mahesh have a contest to see who bike the most distance together.

  • Suresh and Dinesh bike 21 kilometre.

  • The combined total for Suresh and Mahesh is 19 km.

  • Together Mahesh and Dinesh Ride 22 kilometre.

To find: the winner

Solution:

Let Suresh, Dinesh and Mahesh bike x, y and z respectively.

By the given conditions,

  • x + y = 21 .....(1)
  • x + z = 19 .....(2)
  • z + y = 22 .....(3)

Subtracting (3) from (2), we get

  • x - y = - 3 .....(4)

Adding (1) and (4), we get

  • 2x = 18
  • or, x = 9

Putting x = 9 in (1), we get

  • 9 + y = 21
  • or, y = 12

Putting y = 12 in (3), we get

  • z + 12 = 22
  • or, z = 10

We conclude that: y > z > x

Answer: Dinesh is the winner.
