Two cars start from the same spot and travel along perpendicular roads. One travels at 15 km/h and the other at 20 km/h. Find the distance between them after 2 hours.
A. 55 km
B. 45 km
C. 60 km
D. 50 km
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
In 2 hours, the first car travels 30 km and the second car travels 40 km. Direct distance = sqrt(30^2 + 40^2) = sqrt(900 + 1600) = sqrt(2500) = 50 km.
Explanation:
Let speed of stream be s. Downstream speed = 6 + s. Upstream speed = 6 - s. Given: 2 * (6 - s) = 6 + s => 12 - 2s = 6 + s => 3s = 6 => s = 2 km/h.
