    and ‘M’ towards each other at the same time. When they crossed after 10 hours, car ‘D’ had covered 150 km more than car ‘C’. Find the distance covered by car ‘C’ in 6 hours if the total distance between the places is 850 km.
    A 190 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 160 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 140 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let distance travelled by car ‘C’ at the time of meet = x km

    So, distance travelled by car ‘D’ at the time of meet = x + 150 km

    According to question;

    x + x + 150 = 850

    Or, 2x = 700

    Or, x = 350

    Distance travelled by car ‘C’ in 10 hours = 350 km

    Speed of car ‘C’ = 350 / 10 = 35 km/h

    Distance travelled by car ‘C’ in 6 hours = 35 × 6 = 210 km
