Correct Answer: The distance between A and B is 3 kms.
Explanation:
Let, the distance between A and B is x kms
Mr. Arif can travel 10 minute the distancex km.
Mr. Arif can travel 1 hour the distance = x⋅6010
= 6x
Afzal can travel in 1 hour = x⋅609
=x⋅203
According to the question
x⋅203
-6x =2
=> 20x — 18x = 6
=> 2x = 6
=> x = 3
