Question

Dinesh went from place A to place B and from there to place C. A is 7.5 km from B and B is 12.7 km from C. Ayub went from place A to place D and from there to place C. D is 9.3 km from A and C is 11.8 km from D. Who travelled more and by how much?

Answer 1

Distance travelled by Dinesh = AB + BC = (7.5 + 12.7) km

Therefore, Dinesh travelled 20.2 km.

Distance travelled by Ayub = AD + DC = (9.3 + 11.8) km

Therefore, Ayub travelled 21.1 km.

Hence, Ayub travelled more distance.

Difference = (21.1 − 20.2) km

Therefore, Ayub travelled 0.9 km more than Dinesh.
