The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the relationship between the speeds of Aman and Kapil and the times they took to reach their respective destinations after meeting at Mathura. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Information:** - Speed of Aman (V1) = 30 km/hr - Time taken by Aman to reach Gwalior after meeting = 196 minutes - Time taken by Kapil to reach Delhi after meeting = 225 minutes 2. **Convert Time from Minutes to Hours:** - Time taken by Aman (T1) = 196 minutes = 196/60 hours = 3.27 hours (approximately) - Time taken by Kapil (T2) = 225 minutes = 225/60 hours = 3.75 hours (approximately) 3. **Use the Speed Ratio Formula:** - The formula relating the speeds and times is: \[ \frac{V2}{V1} = \sqrt{\frac{T2}{T1}} \] - Here, V2 is the speed of Kapil, and T1 and T2 are the times taken by Aman and Kapil respectively. 4. **Substitute the Values into the Formula:** \[ \frac{V2}{30} = \sqrt{\frac{3.75}{3.27}} \] 5. **Calculate the Right Side:** - First, calculate \(\frac{3.75}{3.27}\): \[ \frac{3.75}{3.27} \approx 1.144 \] - Now, take the square root: \[ \sqrt{1.144} \approx 1.069 \] 6. **Solve for Kapil's Speed (V2):** \[ V2 = 30 \times 1.069 \approx 32.07 \text{ km/hr} \] 7. **Final Answer:** - The speed of Kapil is approximately 32.07 km/hr.
