Practicing Success
Ram starts from point A at 8 a.m. and reaches point B at at 2 p.m. on the same day. On the same day, Raju starts from point B at 8 a.m. reaches point A at 6 p.m. on the same day. Both points A and B are separated by only a straight line track. At what time they both meet ? |
11 : 45 a.m. 9 : 42 a.m. 10 : 42 a.m. 12 : 42 p.m. |
11 : 45 a.m. |
Let Distance from A to B = D km Time taken by A to reach B = 6 hour So , Speed = \(\frac{D}{6}\) km/h Time taken by B to reach A = 10 hour So , Speed = \(\frac{D}{10}\) km/h Relative speed ( when both moves in opposite direction) = \(\frac{D}{6}\) + \(\frac{D}{10}\) = \(\frac{16D}{60}\) Time taken when both A & B meet = \(\frac{D × 60 }{16D}\) = 3.75 hours So meeting time is = 8am + 3.75 hours = 11:45 am |
