Question

 

Two cyclists cover the same distance in 15 km/hr and 16 km/hr, respectively. Find the distance travelled by each, if one takes 16 min longer than the other does4​

Answer 1

Answer:

64 km

Let x be the distance and t time taken by 2nd cyclist in hour

Since one cyclist takes 16 min more

x/15 = t + 16/60 ---(1)

x/16 = t ---(2)

(1) - (2)

x/15 - x/16 = 16/60

x/(15*16) = 16/60

x = 15*16*16/60

=64km
