Question

    Two individuals, P and R, travel from point L to point K at

    different speeds. P takes 11 hours to complete the journey, while R takes 13 hours. The difference in their speeds is 7 km/h, with one traveling faster than the other. Determine the distance between points L and K.
    A 225 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 255 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 292 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 290 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;

    Let R's speed = 'r' km/h,

    P's speed = (r + 7) km/h

    Time ratio = R : P = 13 : 11

    Speed ratio = 11 : 13

    Using the given speed difference,

    r = 18 km/h

    Distance = Speed × Time = 18 × 13 = 234 km
