Step 1: Understand the relationship between distance, speed, and time. The formula for distance is: Distance = Speed × Time Step 2: Calculate the additional distance covered due to the increase in speed. The speed of X is increased by 20 km/h (assuming "km/n" is a typo for "km/h"). The time duration is 3 hours. Additional distance covered = Increase in speed × Time Additional distance covered = 20 km/h × 3 hours Additional distance covered = 60 km Step 3: Determine the effect on the distance between X and Y. The increase in speed means that X will cover an additional 60 km in 3 hours. Therefore, the distance between X and Y will be 60 km less (if X is moving towards Y) or 60 km more (if X is moving away from Y) than it would have been without the speed increase. The effect on the distance between X and Y is an additional 60 km covered by X. Send me the next one 📸
