Let the correct time taken by Dimpy = t hours

By the law of proportions, when distance is constant s1 * t1 = s2 * t2

s1 = 10 km/h and t1 = (t + 7/60) (Converting minutes to hours)

s2 = 12 km/h and t2 = (t - 8/60)


Therefore 10 * (t + 7/60) = 12 * (t - 8/60)

10 t + (70/60) = 12t - (96/60)

166/60 = 2t

t = 83/60

Putting t in any of the equations will give us the distance.

10 * (83/60 + 7/60) = 10 * 90/60 = 15 km


Option A

Time Difference \(= 7-(-8)=15\) min

Distance \(= \frac{10*12}{(12-10)} *\frac{15}{60}=15\) Km

Ans A
meanup
Can you explain how did you reach at this part of the equation \frac{10*12}{(12-10)}
I did understood the concept behind this?
Thanks in advance
