Question
The distance between street light A and street light B is 12 km.More street lights are placed between street light A and street light B such that the distance between every street light is 34 km.How many street lights are placed between street light A and street light B?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to find out how many times 34 km fits into the total distance of 12 km.
-
First, divide the total distance between street light A and B by the distance between each street light. So, 12 km ÷ 34 km.
-
However, you will find that 34 km does not fit into 12 km. This means that it is not possible to place any street lights between street light A and B at intervals of 34 km.
So, the answer is 0. No street lights are placed between street light A and street light B if the distance between each street light is 34 km.

In a street two lamp posts are 600 feet apart. The light intensity at a distance d from the first (stronger) lamp post is 1000/d 2 , the light intensity at distance d from the second (weaker) lamp post is 125/d 2 (in both cases the light source).
