  • Question
  • Two men A and B travel from point P to Q, a distance of 84 km at 12 km/h and 16 km/h, respectively. B reaches Q and returns immediately and meet A at R. Find the distance form P to R.


  • Options
  • A. 72 km
  • B. 76 km
  • C. 78 km
  • D. 68 km

  • Correct Answer
  • 72 km 

    Explanation

    Given, D = 84 km, a = 12 km/h and b = 16 km/ h
    According to the formula
    Distance traveled by A = PR = 2D x a/(a + b)
    = 2 x 84 x 12/(12 + 16) = (2 x 84 x 12)/28
    = 2 x 6 x 6 = 72 km
