Question

    X started to run from point ‘A’ to ‘B’ at a

    speed of 22 km/hr at 9:00 am and Y started to run from point ‘B’ to ‘A’ at a speed of 23 km/hr at 11:00 am. If they meet each other at 3:00 pm then find the distance between points ‘A’ and ‘B’.
    A 220 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 204 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 224 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 214 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance covered by X in 2 hours = 22 × 2 = 44 km Relative speed of X and Y = 22 + 23 = 45 km/hr Sum of distance covered by both in 4 hours = 45 × 4 = 180 km Total distance between points ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 44 + 180 = 224 km
