1. A is faster than B,A and B each walk 24km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then, A's speed is equal to :

  • A. 3 km/hr
  • B. 3 km/hr
  • C. 3 km/hr
  • D. 3 km/hr

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

ধরি, A এর speed x km/hr ; B এর speed =(7-x) km/hr

প্রশ্নমতে, 24/x + 24/7-x= 14

Or, 168-24x + 24x/x(x-7)=14

Or, 168/x(x-7)=14

Or, 98x-14x^2=168

Or, 7x- x^2=12

Or, x^2- 7x + 12= 0

Or, x^2- 4x- 3x -12= 0

Or, x(x-4)-3 (x-4)=0

or, (x-4) (x-3)=0

X-4= 0 অথবা x-3=0

X=4,     x=3

অতএব, A is faster than B,

So, A's speed 4 km/hr
