Let Beth be x
Keith = x+ 120
Keith gives 1/6 to Beth=1/6x+20
So, Beth=7/6x + 20
Keith=5/6x+100
(7/6x+20)-20=(5/6x+100)
7/6x=5/6x+100
7/6x-5/6x=100
2/6x=100
X=300
Keith=300+120=420
Ratio of Keith to Beth is 420:300

Yes. Correct. For B , do we take 48 km÷1 hr ( 15 + 45 mins) since Dick set off 15 mins earlier? Tks Bak Eng

No. Dist for last quarter is 48km and time taken is 45min.
Ans for Part B
This is from Kai Meng:
Only the water above the 20cm mark will be affected.
{(28-20)×756.25} ÷ (756.25+ 5×5) = increase in height of (Affected volume above 20cm in A) ÷
(Combined base area of A and the square base of the upper cuboid in B)
