Question
A courier-person cycles from a town to a neighboring suburban area to deliver a parcel to a merchant. His distance from the town at different times is shown by the following graph.
- What is the scale taken for the time axis?
- How much time did the person take for the travel?
- How far is the place of the merchant from the town?
- Did the person stop on his way? Explain.
- During which period did he ride fastest?
Solution
- Scale taken for the time axis is 4 units = 1 hour
- Time taken by a person for the travel = `(1+1+1+1/2) "hours" = 3 1/2` hours.
- The merchant is 22 km from the town.
- Yes, the person stopped on his way from 10 a.m. to 10: 30 a.m. This is indicated by the horizontal part of the graph.
- From the graph, it canfromserved that during 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., the person travelled the maximum distance. Thus, the person’s ride was the fastest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m.
