Solution

The correct option is A

Kushagra


Part of distance covered by Manish = 25

Part of distance covered by Manoj =12

Here, to compare these two fractions, we convert it to like fractions by LCM method, then they become:

Manish = 410; Manoj = 510.

By comparing the numerators now,5>4.

So, Manoj covered more distance.
