Given: the distance traveled by the two friends, d = 120 km
the speed of the two friends, s₁= 40 km/hr, and s₂ =40 km/hr
the speed of the pigeon, s = 60 km/hr
To Find: the distance traveled by the pigeon, D.
Solution:
To calculate D, the formula used:
- distance = speed x time
- D = s x t ⇒ 1
First, calculate t:
t = distance traveled / speed of two friends
t = d / (s₁+ s₂)
= 120 / (40+40)
= 120 / 80
= 12 / 8
= 3 / 2
= 1.5
t = 1.5 s
Putting the value of t, in equation 1:
D = 60 x 1.5
= 60 x 15/10
= 900 / 10
= 90
D = 90 km
Hence, the distance traveled by the pigeon travel is 90 km.
