    Question

    Chetak and Badal are two horses starting simultaneously

    from points 'D' and 'E' respectively and run toward each other. Chetak gallops at a speed of 60 km/hr, while Badal runs at a speed that is 25% slower than Chetak's. By the time they meet, Chetak has traveled 600 km more than Badal. What is the total distance between points 'D' and 'E'?
    A 4000 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2400 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2000 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4200 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 3600 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let 't' be number of hours after which they met each other. Speed of Badal = 60 X 0.75 = 45 km/hr ATQ, 60t - 45t = 600 So, 't' = (600/15) = 40 Therefore, total distance between points 'D' and 'E' : = (60t + 45t) = 105t = 105 X 40 = 4200 km
