David gets on the elevator at the 11th floor


Asked by admin @ in World Languages viewed by 259 People


David gets on the elevator at the 11th floor of a building and rides up at the rate of 57 floors per minute. At the same time, Albert gets on an elevator at the 51st floor of the same building and rides down at the rate of 63 floors per minute. If they continue travelling at these rates, then at which floor will their paths cross ?

Answered by admin @



Let their paths cross after x minutes
 ⇒11 + 57x = 51 - 63x
⇒120x = 40
⇒x=1/3
 number of floors covered by David in (1/3) min =(1/3*57)
                                                                             =19
∴ their paths cross at (11 +19) that is  30th floor
