    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let speed of car be s kmph
    Time taken by car travel total distance = 100/45 x 2.7 = 6 hrs
    Time taken by truck to cover total distance = 100/60 x 6 = 10 hrs
    so, s x 6 = (160 - s) x 10
    6s = 1600 - 10s
    so, riquired distance = 100 x 6 = 600 km
