Question

    ‘A’ and ‘B’ started moving towards each other at same time with a speed of 27 km/hr and 15 km/hr, respectively. If the distance covered by ‘A’ is 36 km more than that by ‘B’, when they meet then find the initial distance between them.

    A 122 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 160 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 156 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 126 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Difference in speed = 27 - 15 = 12 km/hr Time taken = 36/12 = 3hrs Required distance = travelled distance by A + travelled distance by B = 27 × 3 + 15 × 3 = 81 + 45 = 126 km
