Question

Vicky and Vikram start running simultaneously around a rectangular track of length 500m from the same point at speeds of 30 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

Solution

Relative speed = 30 + 20 = 50 km/hrs Time taken to meet for the first time = length of the track/ relative speed => 500 / (30 + 20) => (500 x 18)/(50 x 5) = 36 sec
