Question 106

A car starts at 11 am from point A towards point B at 36 kmph while another car starts at 1 pm from point B towards A at 44 kmph. They cover a distance of 592 km till meeting. At what time will they meet each other ?

Solution

distance travelled by car which started from point A from 11 am to 1 pm is = 36 ×2 = 72 km

Now it is given that total distance is 592 km

Distance left to be covered = 592 - 72 = 520 km

Speed of car started from B = 44 km/hr

Soeed of car started from A = 36km/hr

Relative speed = 80 km/hr

Time taken = 520/80 = 6.5 hours

So the two cars will meet at 7.30 pm
