hillary and eddy are climbing to the summit of mt . everest from a base camp 5000 ft from the summit . when they depart for the summit at 06 : 00 , hillary climbs at a rate of 800 ft / hr with eddy lagging behind at a slower rate of 500 ft / hr . if hillary stops 1000 ft short of the summit and then descends at a rate ...
solution : h stopped 1000 ft before reaching the final point , time taken to reach 4000 ft = 4000 / 800 = 5 hrs . this means she reached there at 11 : 00 . speed difference between them is 800 - 500 = 300 ft / hr so by the time h stops they have 1500 ft of distance so now here we use relative speed formula they both ar...
