Two cyclist make the same trip the first one 3.5hour and second with the speed 1 km h greater than the first Find the speed of the two cyclist
Answers
Let the speed of first cyclist = x km/h
Let the speed of second cyclist = y km/h
Now, y = x + 1 .....
(1)Time taken by first cyclist to finish the trip = 3.5 hrsTime taken by second cyclist to finish the trip = 3 hrsNow,
Distance covered by first cyclist = Distance covered by second cyclist
⇒x×3.5 = y×3
⇒3.5x = (x+1)×3 [Using (1)] ⇒3.5x = 3x + 3
⇒0.5x = 3
⇒x = 6
So, speed of first cyclist = 6 km/h
Speed of second cyclist = 7 km/h
Let the speed of first cyclist = x km/h
Let the speed of second cyclist = y km/h
Now, y = x + 1 .....
(1)Time taken by first cyclist to finish the trip = 3.5 hrsTime taken by second cyclist to finish the trip = 3 hrsNow,
Distance covered by first cyclist = Distance covered by second cyclist
⇒x×3.5 = y×3
⇒3.5x = (x+1)×3 [Using (1)] ⇒3.5x = 3x + 3
⇒0.5x = 3
⇒x = 6
So, speed of first cyclist
