Question
Two cyclists start from villages R and S which are 234
km apart. One starts from R at 6:45 a.m. at 36 km/h. Another from S at 7:45 a.m. at 54 km/h towards R. When will they meet?Solution
Time gap = 1 hour → Distance = 36 × 1 = 36 km
Remaining = 234 – 36 = 198 km
Relative speed = 90 km/h
Time = 198 / 90 = 2.2 hrs = 2h 12m
Meeting time = 7:45 a.m. + 2h 12m = 9:57 a.m.
