    C 7:20 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
