The ratio between the rates of travelling of A and B is 2:3 and therefore A takes 10 min. more than the time taken by B to reach a destination, if A had walked at double the speed, he would have covered the distance in?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1/2 : 1/3 Suppose B takes Tb min. Then A takes (Tb + 10) min. ∴ (Tb + 10 ) : Tb = 1/2: 1/3 ⇒ (Tb + 10)/Tb = 3 / 2 ⇒ 2Tb
