Ananyaa travels a certain distance at a speed of 3 kmph and reaches her destination late by 15 minutes. If she travels at a speed of 4 kmph, she reaches her destination 15 minutes earlier. Find the distance that Ananyaa is traveling to reach her destination.
Solution
Let = distance (in km)
Let = the correct time to reach (in hours)
When traveling at 3 kmph, Ananyaa is 15 minutes late.
Time taken = hours
15 minutes = hour
... (Equation 1)
When traveling at 4 kmph, Ananyaa is 15 minutes early.
Time taken = hours
... (Equation 2)
Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1:
Therefore, the distance is 6 km.
