Question

How many hours would P take to reach point B?

• A. 2
• B. 5
• C. 6
• D. 12

Hint:

Back-calculate total distance using proportions and solve for total time using speed.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

From previous solution, at meeting point: - P covered distance = \( vt = v \times 2 = 2v \) - This distance was said to be \( \frac{1}{6} \) of total distance: \[ 2v = \frac{1}{6} D D = 12v \] P’s speed = \( v \), total distance = \( 12v \) So total time to reach B: \[ \frac{12v}{v} = \boxed{12 \text{ hours}} \]
