    C 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 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, 360/(2x−x) = 6 min ⇒ 2x – x = 60 meters/min ⇒ x = 60 meters/min Therefore the speed of Q is 60 meters/min.  Time taken by Q = 1080/60 = 18 minutes
