A man I know fell in love with a woman who lived 63
miles away. Finally he decided to propose marriage to his beloved and invited
her to travel towards his place and offered to meet her enroute and bring her
home.
The man is able to
cover 4 miles per hour to the woman’s 3 miles per hour.
How far will each
have travelled upon meeting?
Answer: The man’s
rate of speed is 4 miles an hour to the woman’s 3 miles and, therefore, their
total rate is 7 miles an hour. Since they are 63 miles apart they can cover an
average of 9 miles in one hour. Therefore 9 x 4 =36 miles travelled by the man
and 9x 3 =27 miles the distance travelled by the woman.
