    speed of 23 km/hr at 9:00 am and Y started to run from point ‘B’ to ‘A’ at a speed of 20 km/hr at 11:00 am. If they meet each other at 3:00 pm then find the distance between points ‘A’ and ‘B’.
    A 219 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 208 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 218 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 228 km Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Distance covered by X in 2 hours = 23 × 2 = 46 km Relative speed of X and Y = 23 + 20 = 43 km/hr Sum of distance covered by both in 4 hours = 43 × 4 = 172 km Total distance between points ‘A’ and ‘B’ = 46 + 172 = 218 km
