One train leaves Los Angeles at 15mph heading for New York.
Another train leaves from New York at 20mph heading for Los
Angeles on the same track. If a bird, flying at 25mph,
leaves from Los Angeles at the same time as the train and
flies back and forth between the two trains until they
collide, how far will the bird have traveled?
Answer Posted / bharath
Some of the answers are acceptable but a more accurate
solution is available :
If the distance is specified find the distances traveled by
the bird on the first three trips , these distances will
form some mathematical series , which can be used to find
the distances in the future trips .
PS: It forms a series only if the problem is framed with a
appropriate distance.
