    C 36km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 26km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 34km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relative speed = (total distance )/(total time ) = (160+140)/20 = 15 m/sec Speed in km/hr = 15 × 18/5 = 54 km/hr Relative speed = speed of truck – speed of bike 54 = 80 – speed of ambulance Speed of ambulance = 80 – 54 = 26km/hr
