    D 464 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let speed of car be s kmph Time taken by car travel total distance = 100/50 x 2.5 = 5 hrs Time taken by truck to cover total distance = 100/50 x 10 = 20 hrs so, s x 5 = (100 - s) x 20 5s = 2000 - 20s s = 80 so, required distance = 20 x 20 = 400 km
