11. Case based study:
Sunil was a business man. He lived in Pune. One day he had an official meeting in Mumbai. The cab driver
asked Sunil to come to the nearest pick up point at 8:00 AM. When Sunil seated in the cab, he noticed that the
odometer of a car read 14000 km. He reached to Mumbai in 5 h. At the end of the trip he checked that the odometer
read 14500 km.
