    Question

    Two cities M and N are 432 km apart. A bus leaves M at

    7:15 a.m. at 48 km/h. Another bus leaves N at 8:45 a.m. towards M at 72 km/h. At what time will they meet?
    A 11:30 a.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 11:45 a.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12:00 p.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12:15 p.m. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time gap = 1.5 hrs → Distance = 48 × 1.5 = 72 km
    Remaining = 432 – 72 = 360 km
    Relative speed = 120 km/h
    Time = 360 / 120 = 3 hours
    Meeting time = 8:45 a.m. + 3h = 11:45 a.m.
