Amit & Sumit start walking from the same point in opposite directions at the speeds of 6 km/h and 4 km/h, respectively. How far will they be from each other after 4 hours?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 40 km.
Given that
The speed of Amit = 6 km/h
The speed of Sumit = 4 km/h
The relative speed at which they traveled opposite to each other = 6 + 4 = 10 km/h
Time = 4 hours
We know that,
Distance = Relative speed × Time
Now,
Distance = 10 × 4 = 40 km
