Question

    Two bikers, ‘C’ and ‘D’, start from point ‘R’

    and ‘S’ respectively towards each other. They meet after 7 hours, and biker ‘D’ has travelled 105 km more than biker ‘C’. What distance did biker ‘C’ travel in 3 hours, if the total distance between R and S is 595 km?
    A 196 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 160 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 140 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 185 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let distance travelled by biker ‘C’ = ‘x’ km

    Then, distance travelled by biker ‘D’ = ‘x + 105’ km

    According to question;

    x + x + 105 = 595

    Or, 2x = 490

    Or, x = 245

    Distance travelled by biker ‘C’ in 7 hours = 245 km

    Speed of biker ‘C’ = 245 / 7 = 35 km/h

    Distance travelled by biker ‘C’ in 3 hours = 35 × 3 = 105 km
