Ajita starts off from home at 07.00 hours with her father on a scooter that goes at a uniform speed of 30km/h and drops her at her school after half an hour. She stays in the school till 13 30hours and takes an auto rickshaw to return home. The rickshaw has a uniform speed of 10km/h. Draw the graph for the above situation and also determine the distance of Ajita’s school from her house.

Given that, Ajita goes to school at a uniform speed on her father’s scooter = 30km/h


Time taken to reach her school = 30 min =


Distance between her home and school = speed × time taken to reach


=


= 15 km


Distance = 15 KM




Distance covered by Ajita in 1 min = 1/2 km = 500m


The graph of the above situation is as follows
