Question


Two travelers start walking from the same point at an angle of 1500 with each other at the rate of 4 kmph and 3 kmph. Find the distance between them after 2 hours


Options:
A .   225+83
B .   28-483
C .   225+123
D .   none of these
Answer: Option C
:
C

option c


let OA and OB be the paths traveled by the two travelers in 2 hours. Let BC� AO at C. then BOC= 180-150= 30


In right angled triangle OCB, BC= 62=3 KM and OC= 33 km


In right angled triangle ACB, AB2= AC2 + BC2 = (8+3√3)2+32= 100+483


AB=  225+123


Shortcut


a2+b22abcosα; α is the angle between the paths a and b between the 2 people. 100+48 is the answer
