    floor. Anshul goes up at a rate of 34 floors per minute and Keshav comes down at a rate of 36 floors per minute. At which floor they will meet? 
    A 38th Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 28th Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 29th Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 35th Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total floors between Anshul and Keshav = 53 – 18 = 35 floors Relative speed = 34 + 36 = 70 floor/min Time taken by them to meet = total floors/relative speed = 35/70 = 1/2 min Anshul travels in 1/2 min = 1/2 x 34 = 17 floors Floor at which Anshul and Keshav will meet = 18 + 17 = 35th floor
