    ‘Y’ respectively towards each other at the same time. The distance between towns ‘X’ and ‘Y’ is 360 km. If bikers ‘C’ and ‘D’ are moving at speeds of 24 km/hr and 36 km/hr respectively, find the distance from town ‘X’ to the meeting point.

    B 55 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 72 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the distance from ‘X’ where two bikers will meet each other be ‘x’ km.Therefore,

    Image

    Or, 3x = 360 - 2x

    Or, 5x = 360

    Or, x = 72

    Therefore, both bikers will meet each other at a distance of 72 km from town ‘X’.
