Two men walk from a place at speeds of 9 km/h and 12 km/h, respectively.
Formula used
Time = distance/speed
Calculation
20 min = 1/3
Let the total distance be x km.
According to the question
x/9 - x/12 = 1/3
⇒ (4x - 3x)36 = 1/3
⇒ x/36 = 1/3
⇒ x = 12
The distance of the journey is 12 km.
Shortcut TrickThe distance is = [(9 × 12)/(12 - 9)] × 1/3 = 12 km
