Question

X started to run from point ‘A’ to ‘B’ at a speed of 28 km/hr at 9:00 am and Y started to run from point ‘B’ to ‘A’ at a speed of 12 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 206 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 246 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 210 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 216 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Distance covered by X in 2 hours = 28 × 2 = 56 km Relative speed of X and Y = 28 + 12 = 40 km/hr Sum of distance covered by both in 4 hours = 40 × 4 = 160 km Total distance between points ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 56 + 160 = 216 km
