Answer»

EXPLANATION.

An elevator DESCENDS into a mine shaft at the

rate = 12m/min.

if the descends starts from 20 m above the

ground level.

How long will it take to REACH -460m.

According to the question,

TOTAL distance elevator has to travel

=> initial position - Final position

=> 20 - ( - 460 )

=> 480 m

Now,

elevator descends at rate of = 12 m/min

elevator travel = 12 m/min = 1 min

elevator travel 1 m = 1/12 min

elevator travel = 460 = 1/12 X 480

=> 40

it will take = 40 minutes
