Question
Two boys are running in the same direction from the same place at the speed of 10 km/hr and 6 km/hr. Find the distance between them after 0.33 hr. *
Expert Solution
Step 1

The equation for the distance travelled is given by

d=vt   (1)

Here, v is the speed and t is the time.

Substituting the values in equation (1) for the first boy,

d1=10 km/hr0.33 hr=3.3 km

Substituting the values in equation (1) for the second boy,

d2=6 km/hr0.33 hr=1.98 km
