      Question

      Truck A is traveling at a speed of x km/hr, and Truck B

      is moving in the same direction but is 180 km behind Truck A. The speed of Truck B is 5x km/hr. If it takes Truck B 3 hours to catch up with Truck A, what is the sum of the speeds of both trucks?
      A 90 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 60 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 75 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 50 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Relative speed = 5x – x = 4x km/hr According to the question, 3 = 180/4x So, x = 15 km/hr So, truck A’s speed = x = 15 km/hr and truck B’s speed = 5x = 75 km/hr Sum of the speeds of the 2 trucks = 15 + 75 = 90 km/hr
