A boat M leaves shore A and at the same time boat B leaves shore B.
A boat M leaves shore A and at the same time boat B leaves shore B. They move across the river. They met at 500 yards away from A and after that they met 300 yards away from shore B without halting at shores. Find the distance between the shore A & B
Answer/Solution
1200 yards
Steps/Work
If X is the distance, a is speed of A and b is speed of B, then ;
500/a= (x-500)/b and (x+300)/a = (2x-300)/b , solving it, we get x=1200 yards
ANSWER:B
500/a= (x-500)/b and (x+300)/a = (2x-300)/b , solving it, we get x=1200 yards
ANSWER:B
