    Question

    Two vehicles A and B travel with uniform speed 30 km

    per hour and 60 km per hour respectively in the same direction. They start at the same time and from the same place for a distance of 120 km. The faster vehicle B reaches the destination and travels back with the same speed. Assume that the loss of time to change the direction is negligible. If x is the distance travelled by the slower vehicle A before the two vehicles cross each other, then x is
    A 70 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 75 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
