Question

    Two runners ‘A’ and ‘B’, which were 600 km apart,

    started running towards each other at the same time and met after 4 hours. If the speed of runner ‘A’ is 8 km/h more than the speed of runner ‘B’, then find the speed of runner ‘A’.
    A 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 65 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 79 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 88 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Sum of the distance travelled by both runners = 600 km

    Let the speed of runner B = ‘x’ km/h

    So, speed of runner A = ‘x + 8’ km/h

    So, 4x + 4(x + 8) = 600

    Or, 4x + 4x + 32 = 600

    Or, 8x = 568

    Or, x = 71

    So, the speed of runner A = (x + 8) = (71 + 8) = 79 km/h
