- shor cut:
take lcm of 50 and 20 ...................100
10 min late ........20 min early................ total 30 min
100km.................3hr=180min(100/50=2,100/20=5.................difference 5-2=3hr)
30min
as 180/6=30
hence 100/6=50/3 (ans) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ANS
=(Products of speed/difference in speed) * Difference in Time
= ((20*50)/30)*(30/60)
=50/3
So, Ans is B - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
