    kiosks. The distances from their home are 24 km and 36 km respectively. They left together and reached their respective locations exactly at 9:00 A.M. One day, their locations were swapped. To reach on time, Akshat started 20 minutes earlier than Saksham. Find the speed of Akshat.

    B 60 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 80 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, ATQ, Distance covered by Akshat and Saksham = 24 km and 36 km, respectively Since, both of them reached their respective places at same time Therefore, ratio of speeds of Akshat and Saksham = 24:36 = 2:3 Let the speeds of Akshat and Saksham be 2x km/hr and 3x km/hr, respectively Time taken by Akshat on the day of interchange = 36/(2x) hours Time taken by Saksham on the day of interchange = 24/(3x) hours According to the question, (36/(2x)) – (24/(3x)) = 20/60 Or, (18/x) − (8/x) = 1/3 Or, 10/x = 1/3 Or, x = 30 Therefore, speed of Akshat = 2x = 60 km/hr
