Sita and Geeta start at the same time to ride from place A to place B, which is 90 km away from A. Sita travels 3 km per hours slower than Geeta. Geeta reaches place B and at once turn back meeting Sita 15 km from B. Sita's speed (in km/h) is:
Distance between A and B is 90 kmÂ
Speed of Seeta = Speed of Geeta - 3Â
According to conditions given in the Question :Â
Distance covered by Seeta = 75 km
Distance covered by Geeta = 105 kmÂ
Ratio of distance covered by Seeta : Geeta = 75 : 105Â
i.e, 5 : 7
We know, the ratio of Distance = ratio of SpeedÂ
Lets their speed be 5x and 7xÂ
Difference between their speed is 7x - 5x = 2x = 3 km/hr (given)Â
1x = 1.5 km/hr
Speed of seeta = 5xÂ
i.e;Â $$5\times\ 1.5=7.5\ \frac{km}{hr}$$
Hence, Option D is correct.Â
