Question

B and C are standing on point Q and P respectively, which are 300km apart. A starts moving to and from between Q and P at 25km/hr while A starts moving to and from between P and Q at 35km/hr. What will be the difference between the total distance travelled by B and A when they meet for the 8th time? (in km)

A 720 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 745 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 720 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 750 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Let Distance is given  = 300 km  Relative speed = 25 + 35 = 60 kmph So, first time they meet after = 300 /60 = 5 hours  Now, in the second time both travelled (300 + 300) km distance and  relative speed = 25 + 35 = 60 kmph  They meet after 600 /60 = 10 hours  Similarly, for the third time, fourth time …8th time they meet after 10 hours in each case. Now, total time = 5 + 7 x 10 = 75 hours  Required difference = 35 x 75 - 25 x 75 = 75(35 - 25) = 75 x 10  = 750 km
