    Two scooters ‘G’ and ‘H’ started at the same time

    from two towns ‘U’ and ‘V’ towards each other. When they met after 4 hours, scooter ‘H’ had travelled 60 km more than scooter ‘G’. What distance did scooter ‘G’ travel in 2 hours if the total distance between the towns is 300 km?

    B 60 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let distance travelled by scooter ‘G’ at the time of meet = x km

    So, distance travelled by scooter ‘H’ at the time of meet = x + 60 km

    According to question;

    x + x + 60 = 300

    Or, 2x = 240

    Or, x = 120

    Distance travelled by scooter ‘G’ in 4 hours = 120 km

    Speed of scooter ‘G’ = 120 / 4 = 30 km/h

    Distance travelled by scooter ‘G’ in 2 hours = 30 × 2 = 60 km
