Correct Answer

Explanation


The distance between the two locations is given as x km.

We are given that the time difference between the arrival of the two cars is 1/2 hour.

The speed of the first car is given as 3 km/hr and the speed of the second car is given as 4 km/hr.

We can use the time difference and the speeds of the two cars to find the distance between the two locations. 

Since the time difference is 1/2 hour and the speed of the first car is 3 km/hr and the speed of the second car is 4 km/hr, 

we can set up the following equation: 

(3 km/hr - 4 km/hr)/(1/2 hr) = 1/2.

Solving for x, we get x = 6 km.

Therefore, the distance between the two locations is 6 km.
