Answer / bharath raj

previous ans wrong again..!!!!
first find x its 2 hours
total journey 6 hrs 3km up and also down
jill takes one hr to come down and jack takes 3 hrs so x
is 2 hours....

And while going up jack goes at 1.5km/hr and jill goes at
0.75 km hr so to travel 3 km they take 2 hrs and 4 hrs
respectively...!!! x again is 2 hrs...

so jack totally takes 5 hrs to travel 6 km
therfore speed is 6/5 km per hour

thats is 1.2 km per hour is the correct answer

Answer / khanijkumar

for jack
3=v*t; if his speed is v and time taken was t hours
For Jill
3=u*(x+t);

There fore
v*t=u(x+t)
2*u*t=u(x+t)
2t=x+t;
x=t;
In down word direction
jill speed 3km/hr
time taken by him to cover 3 kms is 1 hr;
time taken by Jack is 3 hr;
There fore jill wait 2 hr;
x=2;

There fore t=2;
v=3/2=1.5km/hr


There fore velocity of Jack is 1.5km/hr in the upword
direction
downward velocity is 1 km/hr

there fore
average speed is 2*1.5*1/(1.5+1)=1.2km/hr

Two trains 200 miles apart are traveling toward each other along the same track. Two trains have the same speed 100MPH. A bee is hovering just above the nose of the first train. It buzzes from the first train to the second train, turns around immediately, flies back to the first train, and turns around again. It goes on flying back and forth between the two trains until they collide. If the bee's speed is twice the speed of two trains, how far will it travel?
