    C 4:25 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 6:25 pm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Speed of Ship A = 22.5 × 18/5 = 81 Km/h Speed of Ship B = 17.5 × 18/5 = 63 Km/h Distance travelled by Ship A till 1:05 am = 81 × (5/3) = 135 Km Relative speed of shipes = 81 + 63 = 144 Km/h Remaining distance to be travelled after 1:05 pm = 615 - 135 = 480 Km Time taken to cover 480 Km = 480/144 = 10/3 = 3 hours 20 minutes So the two shipes will meet each other at 1:05 + 3:20 = 4:25 pm
