Start the planThe distance between West-Town to East-Town is 15 kilometers. Two birds start flying simultaneously towards one another, the first leaving from West-Town at a speed of 4 kilometers per minute and the second bird, leaving from East-Town, at a speed of 1 kilometers per minute. What will be the distance, in kilometers, between the meeting point and West-Town?
A. 3
B. 7
C. 10
D. 12
E. 15
The OA is D.
I get the solution to this PS question as follows,
Time taken by the birds to meet = 15/(4+1) = 3 minutes.
Distance traveled by the bird traveling from West-Town = 4*3 = 12. Option D.
Can anyone explain another way to solve this question? Thanks!
