    Question

    Vicky and Vikram start running simultaneously around a rectangular track of length 1500m from the same point at speeds of 50 km/hr and 40 km/hr. When will they meet for the first time anywhere on the track if they are moving in opposite directions?

    A 42 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 36 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 48 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 sec Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Relative speed = 50 + 40 = 90 km/hrs Time taken to meet for the first time = length of the track/ relative speed => 1500 / (50 + 40) => (1500 x 18)/(90 x 5) = 60 sec
