Understanding

Application

Ramesh travels by bus from city A to city B at an average speed of 44 km/hr. Suresh travels by taxi from city A to city B at an average speed of 77 km/hr and takes 3 hours lesser than time taken by Ramesh.

Suppose distance = D

So,

D/44 – D/77 = 3

33D = 3 × 44 × 77

D = 308

Hence,

Distance = 308 km
