    A bird keeps flying continuously between two trains, that are following each other on a straight track. The train behind is slower than the one ahead
    Question

    A bird keeps flying continuously between two trains, that are following each other on a straight track. The train behind is slower than the one ahead by 1.5 km/h. If the speed of the bird is 20 km/h. what distance would the bird cover in an hour?

    A.

    20 km

    B.

    30 km

    C.

    50 km

    D.

    60 km

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    1. Speed of the bird = 20 km/h
    2. The bird keeps flying continuously between the two trains for 1 hour.

    The distance covered by the bird is independent of the relative speeds of the trains. Since the bird flies continuously for 1 hour at a constant speed of 20 km/h, the total distance covered by the bird in this time is:

    Formula Used:

    Distance=Speed×Time Distance=Speed×Time​​

    Calculation: 

    Distance=20km/h×1hour=20kmDistance=20km/h×1hour = 20km

    Final Answer:

    (a) 20 km
