    Vicky and Vikram start running simultaneously around a

    rectangular track of length 700m from the same point at speeds of 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr. When will they meet for the first time anywhere on the track if they are moving in opposite directions?
    A 42 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 48 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relative speed = 40 + 20 = 60 km/hrs Time taken to meet for the first time = length of the track/ relative speed => 700 / (40 + 20) => (700 x 18)/(60 x 5) = 42 sec
