Two friends started with a debate while planning a vacation. One of them says that the train will be a faster means of transport. The other denies and says that the train stops half way to the hotel and they will have to walk the rest of the way to the hotel on foot and thus they should take the bikes instead.
The first friend denies too and thus the second one takes bike and the first takes train (and walks the remaining distance on foot).
Now you know that the speed of train is four times that of bike's speed. Also, the bike's speed is two times faster than the walking speed. Who do you think will reach the hotel first?
Solution:
This problem might seem complex but it can be solved completely using simple logics. We know that the bike is twice as fast as walking and thus the time taken by to reach hotel is equal to the time taken on foot to travel half the way. Thus, biking the whole way will be faster than taking the train if the train's speed is not infinite (not possible).
