      B 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let speed of P is 2x and speed of Q is x. According to question, 380/(2x−x) = 4 min ⇒ 2x – x = 95 meters/min ⇒ x = 95 meters/min Therefore the speed of Q is 95 meters/min.  Time taken by Q = 2280/95 = 24 minutes
