Two cyclists start from the same point on a mountain, one travels 1200m, downward the mountain 20 minutes, and the other travels 350m upward the mountain in the same time how far they from each of the after 20 minutes
Answers
Given :
Distance traveled by 1st cyclist in 20 mins = 1200 m
Distance traveled by 2nd cyclist in 20 mins = 350 m
To Find :
How far are the 2 cyclists from each other after 20 mins = ?
Solution :
Since they have both started from the same point and are moving in opposite directions .
Lets assume the downward direction to be positive and upward direction to be negative :
So, distance traveled by the 1st cyclist = + 1200 m
And distance traveled by the 2nd cyclist = - 350 m
So, the gap between them will be = 1200 + (- 350 )
= 1200 - 350 m
=850 m
So, after 20 mins they are 850 m far from each other .
Answer:
15500 metre
Step-by-step explanation:
= 1200 + ( + 350)
= 1200 + 300
= 15500 metre they from 20 minutes each other after
