Answer:
The distance covered by Sonam till they meet for the 4th time is 28 kms.
Given:
Two points A and B are 10 km apart. Sonam starts from A towards B at speed of 2 km/hr, while Meenakshi starts from B towards A at a speed of 3 km/hr. They move to and fro between the two points.
To find:
The distance covered by Sonam till they meet for the 4th time.
Solution:
Speed of Sonam = 2 km/hr, sped of Meenakshi = 3 km/hr
When they start from A and B at their respective speeds, they will met for the first time after two hours such that Sonam have travelled 4 kms and meenakshi have covered 6 kms.
2nd meet will be when Sonam have covered 8 kms and meenakshi 12 kms.
Similarly the same distance will be covered for 3rd and 4th time. Total distance covered by Sonam = 4 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 28 kms.
