Time Distance and Speed
In covering a distance of 60 km, Ramu takes two hours more than Shyamu. If Ramu triples his speed, then he would take one hour less than Shyamu. Ramu’s speed is
Read Solution (Total 1)

- 13.33 km/hr
Let speed(in kmph) of Ramu=R and Shyamu=S, then
According to 1st condition: 60/R - 60/S = 2 => RS = 30S - 30R ---(i) and
According to 2nd condition: 60/S - 60/(3R) = 1 => RS = 60R - 20S ---(ii)
Comparing (i) & (ii), 30S - 30R = 60R - 20S => 5S = 9R
As we require 'R' so substituting S=9R/5 in Equation 60/R - 60/S = 2, we get 60/R - 60/(9R/5) = 2
=> R = 40/3 = 13.33 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
