      Question

      Two cyclists, β€˜P’ and β€˜Q’, started from

      locations β€˜L’ and β€˜R’ towards each other at the same time. When they met after 4 hours, cyclist β€˜Q’ had travelled 44 km more than cyclist β€˜P’. Find the distance travelled by cyclist β€˜P’ in 3 hours if the total distance between both locations is 244 km.
      A 60 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 65 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 70 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 75 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 80 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let distance travelled by cyclist β€˜P’ at the time of meet = β€˜x’ km
      So, distance travelled by cyclist β€˜Q’ at the time of meet = β€˜x + 44’ km
      According to question:
      x + x + 44 = 244
      Or, 2x = 200
      Or, x = 100
      Distance travelled by cyclist β€˜P’ in 4 hours = 100 km
      Speed of cyclist β€˜P’ = 100 / 4 = 25 km/h
      Distance travelled by cyclist β€˜P’ in 3 hours = 25 Γ— 3 = 75 km
