Answer / santhya
let the speed of the car be xkm/h during the up journey...
total distance travelled ill remain same ,ie
7*x=(x+12)*5
or,x=30 km/hr
so distance travld= 7*30=210;

Answer / sankar adhikari
Let the speed is X km per hour
so total journey = 7 x X = 7X
so 7X = 5(X+12)
7X - 5X = 60
X = 30
So, Total journey = 7 x 30 = 210 k.
30 x 7 = 210 k.
(30+12) = 42 x 5 = 210 km.

Answer / suchi teegala
speed = distance / time
let the distance be x
during forward journey ,
time is given as 7hrs
and let the speed be y
therefore , y=x/7
during return journey
since the distance travelled is same in both directions
, here also we will consider the distance as x
now the speed is increased by 12kmph so the speed is y+12
now the time taken is 5 hrs
therefore , y+12=x/5
on solving the both equations
x=7y and
5y+60=x
we get x as 210 km
total distance - distance in forward journey + distance in
return journey
=x+x=2x
i.e., =210+210
=420 km is the answer

Answer / kritika
let the speed of the car was xkm/h during the up journey...
total distance travelled vl remain same ,ie
7*x=(x+12)*5
or,x=30 km/hr
so distance travld= 2*7*30=420;

Two trains 200 miles apart are traveling toward each other along the same track. Two trains have the same speed 100MPH. A bee is hovering just above the nose of the first train. It buzzes from the first train to the second train, turns around immediately, flies back to the first train, and turns around again. It goes on flying back and forth between the two trains until they collide. If the bee's speed is twice the speed of two trains, how far will it travel?
