      Question

      Akshat and Saksham have two delivery points at

      distances 32 km and 48 km from their house. They left together and reached their points at 9:15 A.M. On another day, the delivery points were swapped, and Akshat started 40 minutes earlier than Saksham to reach on time. Find the speed of Akshat.
      A 35 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 28 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Distance covered by Akshat and Saksham = 32 km and 48 km, respectively Since, both of them reached their respective places at same time Therefore, ratio of speeds of Akshat and Saksham = 32:48 = 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 = 48/(2x) hours Time taken by Saksham on the day of interchange = 32/(3x) hours According to the question, (48/(2x)) – (32/(3x)) = 40/60 Or, (24/x) βˆ’ (32/(3x)) = 2/3 Or, (72 βˆ’ 32)/(3x) = 2/3 Or, 40/(3x) = 2/3 Or, 40 = 2x Or, x = 20 Therefore, speed of Akshat = 2x = 40 km/hr
