A bus starts from a bus station after every 30 minutes in the same direction. The speed of each bus is the same. Z is riding a bike in the opposite direction at a speed of 25 km/h. Z meets each bus in 20 minutes. What is the speed of each bus?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
According to question ,
Distance traveled by bus in 10 min = Distance traveled by Bike in 20 minutes
Ratio of Time taken by Bus to Bike = 1 : 2
As Speed is inversely proportional to Time
So , Ratio of Speed of Bus to Bike = 2 : 1
Now , 1R = 25 km/h ( Given)
2R = 2 × 25 = 50 km/h
So , Speed of Bus = 50 km/h
