Question

Two persons cover the same
distance at speed of 25 km/hr. and
30km/hr. respectively. Find the
distance travelled if one person
takes 25min. more than the other.

Answer 1

The distance covered is 62.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance be 'x'

So, speed of first person = 25 km/hr

Speed of second person = 30 km/hr

So, if one person takes 25 min more than the other.

According to question, we get that

$\dfrac{x}{25}-\dfrac{x}{30}=\dfrac{25}{60}\\\\\dfrac{30x-25x}{25\times 30}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\\dfrac{5x}{750}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\60x=5\times 750\\\\x=\dfrac{3750}{60}\\\\x=62.5$

Hence,the distance covered is 62.5 km.
