Question

    Ajay and Vishal left the place ‘X’ with different speeds which are in the ratio 9:5 respectively. Ajay left the place 36 seconds after Vishal. If after 72 seconds of the departure of Vishal, Ajay is 50 meters apart from Vishal, then find the speed of Vishal.

    A 16 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 32 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 25 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 km/hr Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the speeds of Ajay and Vishal be 9x and 5x km/hr respectively. Distance covered by Vishal in 72 seconds = 5x x (5/18) x 72 = 100x m Distance covered by Ajay in 36 seconds = 9x x (5/18) x 36 = 90x m According to the question, => 100x – 90x = 50 => x = 5 Therefore the speed of Vishal = 5x = 25 km/hr
