Question: Two people enter a race in which you run to a point and back. Person A runs 20 mph to and from the point. Person B runs to the point going 10 mph and 30 mph going back.
Who came in first?
Answer:
Person A came in first.
Solution:
Let's assume that the distance between start and the point is D miles.
Total time taken by Person A to finish
= (D/20) + (D/20)
= D/10
= 0.1D
Total time taken by Person B to finish
= (D/10) + (D/30)
= 2D/15
= 0.1333D
Thus, Person A is the Winner.
