Two buses travel to a place at 25kmph and 35kmph respectively. If the second bus takes 16.5hr less than the fist for the same journey, the length of journey is-
***
let x=travel time of 1st bus
x-16.5=travel time of 2nd bus
distance=speed*travel time
..
25x=35(x-16.5)
25x=35x-577.5
10x=577.5
x=57.75
25x=1443.75
length of journey is 1443.75 km
