Question

Two men start together to cover a certain distance. one walks at 5 km/hr and the other walks at 4 km/hr, he would have reached the bus stand 1 min before the arrival of the bus. how far is the bus stand?

Answer 1

Answer:

The bus stand stays at, approximately, 0.333 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Two men start together to cover a certain distance. one walks at 5 km/hr and the other walks at 4 km/hr, he would have reached the bus stand 1 min before the arrival of the bus, and our aim is to know how far is the bus stand. So:

$1 min = \frac{1}{60} hour$

Let x be the total distance in km.

According to the question:

$\frac{x}{4} - \frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{60}$

x = $\frac{1}{3}$ = 0.333 km

Henec, the bus stand stays at, approximately, 0.333 km.

Answer 2

Answer:

Bus Stand is 0.33 km far

Step-by-step explanation:

Question : Two men start together to cover a certain distance. one walks at 5 km/hr and the other walks at 4 km/hr, he would have reached the bus stand 1 min before the arrival of the bus. how far is the bus stand?

One Person reaches at arrival of Bus and another person Reaches 1 min before

Let Say Distance of Bus Stand =  D  km

As we know that Time = Distance / Speed

Time Taken by person walking at a  speed of 5 km /Hr  = D/5  Hr

Time Taken by another person walking at a  speed of 4 km /Hr  = D/4  Hr

Person walking with higher speed would reach 1 min before

it means Time take by him is 1 min less

1 hr = 60 min => 1 min = 1/60 Hr

D/5 = D/4 -  1/60

multiplying both sides by 60

=> 12D = 15D - 1

=> 3D = 1

=> D = 1/3 km

=> D = 0.33 km

Bus Stand is 0.33 km far
