RE: A ship leaves on a long voyage. When it is 18 mile...
time taken is same for both the ships & seaplanetime =distance/speed.....if speed of ship=s then seaplane speed=10slet distance of ship be x then seaplane distance =18+xtherefore (x / s = (18 + x ) / 10s)...then we get x = 2 therfore total distance = 18+2=20ans 20
