    Two cars start from a place with a speed of 65 km/hr at

    an interval of 15 minutes. A man coming from the opposite direction towards the place meets the cars at an interval of 13 minutes. What is the speed of the man?
    A 20 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 25 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance covered in 15 minutes at 65 km/hr =Β 65 x (15/60) Distance covered in 13 minutes at (65 + x) km/hr = (13/60) x (65 + x) Now, Distance covered in 15 minutes at 65 km/hr = Distance covered in 13 minutes at (65 + x) km/hr β‡’ 65 x (15/60) = (13/60) x (65 + x) β‡’ 65 x 15 = 845 + 13x β‡’ 975 = 845 + 13x β‡’ 13x = 975 - 845 = 130 β‡’ x = 10 km/hr
