Ram covered a distance of 125 km by car and motorcycle. The car's speed was 50% more than the motorcycle's speed and the time taken by car and motorcycle were equal.What distance did Ram cover by motorcycle? (in km)
1). 75
2). 60
3). 64
4). 90
Given,
Total distance covered by car and motorcycle = 125 km
Car's speed was 50% more than the motorcycle
Let the speed of the motorcycle be S1 = x
Then, the speed of car S2 = x + 50x/100 = 3x/2
Let the time taken by both car and motorcycle be t hours.
We know that,
Distance = Speed × Time
⇒ S1 $× t + S2 $× t =125
⇒ xt + 3xt/2 = 125
⇒ xt = 50 km
∴ Distance covered by Ram by motorcycle = 50 km
