Time Distance and Speed
If i walk with 30 miles/hr i reach 1 hour before and if i walk with 20 miles/hr i reach 1 hour late.Find the distance between 2 points and the exact time of reaching destination is 11 am then find the speed with which it walks.

- LET ORIGINAL SPEED BE V AND TIME TAKEN BE T...
AS DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS CONSTANT,
30*(T-1)=20*(T+1)=V*T
HENCE, V=24MILE/HR
T=5 HRS
DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS 120 MILES - 15 years agoHelpfull: Yes(40) No(14)
- Let us suppose actual time taken be ‘t’ hrs
If speed= 30 miles/hr, t= (t-1)hr ==> d= 30(t-1) miles
If speed = 20 miles/hr, t2=(t-1)hr ==> d= 20(t+1) miles
Since dist is equal thru out the journey, equate both distances.
i.e., 30(t-1)=20(t+1) t= 5hrs…….. from this d=20(5+1)=120 miles
And, speed= d/t = 120/5 = 24 miles
