Ramu walks at 3kms per hour while his brother Somu walks at 4kms per hour. They both started to school, which is 2kms away from their house at 7:00 A.M. Then, which of these is are correct?
time speed and distance problems involving speed word problems on speed time and distance time and distance word problems on simultaneous equations applications of simultameous equations unitary method idea of speed distance and time speed math time work and distance ratio and proportions linear equations in two variables maths

  1. Somu reaches school at 7:20 AM

  2. Somu reaches school 10 mins earlier than Ramu

  3. Ramu reaches school at 7:30 AM

  4. All the above

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ramu =3 kmph Somu =4 kmph Both starts at 7 AM Distance =2km

Time taken by Ramu ⇒S=v×t

2=3×t

t=23hr=23×60

=40min

Time taken by Somu ⇒2=4×t

t=12hr=30 min.

∴ Somu reaches school 10 mins earlier than Ramu.

  1. 7:4

  2. 4:7

  3. 11:8

  4. 8:11

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Age of Reena after 8yr=24−8=16yr
Age of Usha After 8yr=36−8=28
So, the ratio will be 1628=47
