kishan (Question: 108110.0 )

plz provide video solution

Question:

P and Q starting simultaneously from two different places proceed towards each other at a speed of 20 km/hour and 30 km/hour respectively. By the time they meet each other, Q has covered 36 km more than P. The distance (in k.m.) between the two places is:

Options:
A) 108
B) 144
C) 162
D) 180
Solution:
Ans: (d)

Let the distance = x km

Let they meet when P travels y km.

then, Q travels in the same time  x – y km

from question,

(x – y) – y = 36 

x – 2y = 36                 .......(i)

Also, 20 × y = 30 (x–y)       [\(\because\)Time is same]

\(\therefore \cfrac{y}{x-y}=\cfrac{3}{2}\)

2y = 3x – 3y

5y = 3x                     ........(ii)

Putting the value of y from (ii) to (i),

\(x-\cfrac{6x}{5}=36 \Rightarrow\cfrac{-x}{5}=36\Rightarrow x =180\) km
