      Two scooters, ‘G’ and ‘H’, started from towns

      ‘U’ and ‘V’ towards each other at the same time. When they met after 5 hours, scooter ‘H’ had travelled 65 km more than scooter ‘G’. Find the distance travelled by scooter ‘G’ in 2 hours if the distance between both towns is 365 km.
      A 50 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 55 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 60 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 65 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 70 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let distance travelled by scooter ‘G’ at the time of meet = ‘x’ km
      So, distance travelled by scooter ‘H’ at the time of meet = ‘x + 65’ km
      According to question:
      x + x + 65 = 365
      Or, 2x = 300
      Or, x = 150
      Distance travelled by scooter ‘G’ in 5 hours = 150 km
      Speed of scooter ‘G’ = 150 / 5 = 30 km/h
      Distance travelled by scooter ‘G’ in 2 hours = 30 × 2 = 60 km
