of
6 km/hr, she reaches on time. Find
the distance of her office from
her house .​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/2 km or 2.5 km

explanation:

given

if woman walk at a speed of 5km/h then she will reach the office 5 min late.

and

if women walk at a speed of 6km/h. then she will reach on time.

therefore

let the distance be: x

time taken by the women when she walk at a speed of 5 km/h. : x/5

time taken by women when she walk at the speed of 6 km/h.: x/6

time difference between these two speed is: 5min Or 5/60

x/5- x/6 =5/60 km

(6x-5x) =5/2 km

x.= 5/2 km
