    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let distance travelled by car ‘X’ at the time of meeting = ‘x’ km

    So, distance travelled by car ‘Y’ at the time of meeting = ‘x + 90’ km

    According to question;

    x + x + 90 = 510

    Or, 2x = 420

    Or, x = 210

    Distance travelled by car ‘X’ in 6 hours = 210 km

    Speed of car ‘X’ = 210 / 6 = 35 km/h

    Distance travelled by car ‘X’ in 4 hours = 35 × 4 = 140 km
