Solution

The correct option is B 152
Let Person 1 cover a distance x and Person 2 covers distance y.
It is given that Person 2 covers 53 mi more than Person 1.
y = x + 53

From the figure,

x + y + x = 350

x + (x + 53) + x = 350

3x + 53 = 350

3x = 350 - 53

3x = 297

x = 2973

x = 99

The distance covered by Person 2 is
99 + 53 = 152.
