A man walks at 6 m/sec and reaches his destination in 20 minutes. A woman covers the same distance in 1.2 hours.Ā What is the speed of the woman (in km/h)?
A man walks at 6 m/sec and reaches his destination in 20 minutes.
Speed of man =Ā 6 m/sec
time taken to reach the destination =Ā 20 minutesĀ
= $$20\times60$$Ā seconds [1 minute = 60 seconds]
=Ā 1200Ā seconds
Distance covered by the man =Ā $$speed\times\ time$$
=Ā $$6\times1200$$
Ā = 7200 m
A woman covers the same distance in 1.2 hours.
DistanceĀ =Ā 7200 m
=Ā 7.2 kmĀ [1km = 1000m]
Speed of the woman =Ā $$\frac{distance}{time}$$
= $$\frac{7.2}{1.2}$$
= 6 km/h
