Time and Work--> Escalator problems--> example 4, there is a statement, "Since the speed of the escalator is more than the speed of A, he is moving up on the escalator whereas B is moving down." How? kindly explain.

Question

Answer 1

Hi,
In the question it is mentioned that both move in different directions. Further, it is also mentioned that both eventually reach their destination. We know that escalator moves faster than A but slower than B. So, the only case when both reach their destination will be when A wants to go up and B wants to go down. I hope this answers your query.
