      a speed of 8 km/h. Another person starts from the same gate at 8:00 AM, jogging in the same direction at 12 km/h. At what time will the second person catch up with the first?
      A 12:15 PM Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      D 6:00 AM Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Distance between both joggers when the second starts = 8 × 1.5 = 12 km

      Relative speed = 12 − 8 = 4 km/h

      Time taken to catch up = 12 / 4 = 3 hours

      Required time = 8:00 AM + 3 hours = 11:00 AM
