Question

Ram takes $\frac{5}{2}$ minutes to reach office, whereas Raghu takes $\frac{2}{3}$ minutes. What is the difference in time taken by the two?

Answer 1

Difference in time taken by Ram and Raghu to reach office is given by $\frac{5}{2}-\frac{2}{3}.$

$=\frac{5\times 3}{2\times 3}-\frac{2\times 2}{3\times 2}$

$=\frac{15}{6}-\frac{4}{6}$

$=\frac{(15-4)}{6}=\frac{11}{6}$

Thus, the difference in time taken by Ram and Raghu to reach office is $\frac{11}{6}$ minutes.
