Question

Two ships leave a port at the same time. One goes 20 Km per hour in the direction N 450 E and other travels 40 Km per hour in the direction S 750 E. The distance between the ships at the end of 2 hours is _______Km

Answer 1

Given:-

• Two ships leave a port at same time.

• One is going in North direction .

• Second is going in South direction.

• First Ship's speed is = 20km/h

• Second Ship's speed is = 40km/h

• Time = 2 hours

To Find :-

• Distance between two ships after 2 hours.

Solution:-

First Ship

• Speed(s) = 20km/h

• Time (t) = 2 hrs

• Distance = Speed × Time

• => d = 20 × 2 = 40km

Second Ship

• Speed(s) = 40km/h

• Time(t) = 2 hr

• Distance = Speed × Time

• => d = 40 × 2 = 80km

So,

Distance between two ships is 80 + 40 = 120km
