Answer 1

MP cnt be differnt?

Answer 2

Actually yes it can because Ann was travelling slower than Ben

Answer 3

how did u work t out?

Answer 4

So when they meet, ben's distance, which equals MP will be greater

Answer 5

DISTANCE TRAVELED BY ANN 3t
distance travelled by ben is 7t
when they meet 3t +7t=6000
therefore t=600 sec=10 hrs
so distance travelled by ann=\[3\times600=1800\]
distance travelled by ben is \[7\times600=4200=qm\]

Answer 6

Let x = no of seconds it takes for Ann and Ben to reach point M

Then:
3x = The distance that Ann Travels (PM)
7x = The distance that Ben Travels (MQ)

Therefore:
3x + 7x = 6000 is the total combined distance from P to Q

Thus:
10x = 6000
x = 6000/10
x = 600

So, it takes 600 seconds for Ann and Ben to pass each other

Therefore

PM = 1800
MQ = 4200
