Question

These are 35 steps to reach temple. On descending from the temple soni takes two steps in the same time gunjan ascends four steps. If they start to work simultaneously, at which step will they meet each other?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 steps from the bottom of the steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total steps = 35

Soni = 2 steps at a time

Gunjan = 4 steps at a time

Define x:

Let x be the number of moves

Solve x:

2x + 4x = (35 + 1)

6x = 36

x = 6

Find the steps that they will meet:

Soni = 2 x 6 = 12

Gunjan = 4 x 6 = 24

Answer: They will meet at the 12 steps from the bottom of the steps.
