    Question

    Buses start from a bus terminal with a speed of 20 km/hr

    at intervals of 12 minutes. What is the speed of a boy coming from the opposite direction towards the bus terminal if he meets the buses at intervals of 10 minutes?
    A 6 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 kmph Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speed of boy = x kmph According to the question, Distance travelled by bus in 12 min with 20 kmph = Distance travelled by boy in 10 min with (20 + x) kmph in opposite direction => 20 × 12/60 = 10/60 (20 + x) => 240 = 200 + 10x => x = 40/10 = 4 kmph.
