RE: Joe started from Bombay towards Pune and her frien...
The distance between 2 cities is 6.6 miles.Consider Both meet after X Hrs after they started .Consider Y Miles is the distance travelled by Julie in X Hrs > Distance covered by Joe in X Hrs Y + 1.8 Miles.Hence Julie's speed is Y/X Miles/Hr And Joe's speed is (Y + 1.8 ) /X Miles/HrDistance travelled by Joe (Bombay - Pune) in 2 Hrs Distance travelled by Joe (Pune - Bombay) in 3.5 Hrs( (Y + 1.8 ) /X) * 2 (Y/X) * 3.52Y + 3.6 3.5Y1.5 Y 3.6Y 2.4Hence Distance between Pune -Bombay Y + (Y +1.8) 2Y + 1.8 (2*2.4) +1.8 4.8 + 1.8 6.6 Miles
