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 when he went from place A to
place B = 7.5 km and from place B to C = 12.7 km.
Total distance travelled by Dinesh = AB + BC = 7.5 + 12.7 = 20.2 km
Total distance travelled by Ayub = AD + DC = 9.3 + 11.8 = 21.1 km O
On comparing the total distance travelled by Ayub and Dinesh,
21.1 km > 20.2 km'
So, Ayub travelled more distance.

And 21.1 - 20.2 = 0.9 km = 900 m
So, Ayub travelled 900 metres more than Dinesh.
