Question

If person A covers more distance in a given interval of time and person B covers less distance in the same interval of time, then which of the following is correct ?

• A. A and B reach the destination at the same time.
• B. B is faster than A.
• C. A and B have same speeds.
• D. A is faster than B.

Answer 1

The correct option is D A is faster than B.

If an object covers a certain distance in a given interval of time, then we can define speed of the object as the distance covered divided by time taken.
In the given case, since time is same for both A and B, its only the distance that determines the speed.
So, A travels faster than B.
