Answer: 12:00 pm (Noon)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let t represent the time (in hours) from 6:00 am
Use distance (d) = rate (r) × time (t)
Ram: time = t, r = 20 → d = 20t
Hari: time = t - 2, r = 30 → d = 30(t - 2)
Use Substitution method to solve the system of equations:
20t = 30(t - 2)
20t = 30t - 60
-10t = -60
t = 6
They travel the same distance when Ram rides his bike for 6 hours
and Hari rides his bike for 4 hours.
Ram: 6:00 am + 6 hours = 12:00 pm (Noon)
Hari: 8:00 am + 4 hours = 12:00 pm (Noon)
