A straight road connects points A and B. Car 1 travels from A to B and Car 2 travels from B to A, both leaving at the same time. After meeting each other, they take 45 minutes and 20 minutes, respectively, to complete their journeys. If Car 1 travels at the speed of 60 km/hr, then the speed of Car 2, in km/hr, is

Let the speed of Car 2 be 'x' kmph and the time taken by the two cars to meet be 't' hours.

In 't' hours, Car 1 travels $$\left(60\ \times\ t\right)\ km$$ while Car 2 travels $$\left(x\ \times\ t\right)\ km$$

It is given that the time taken by Car 1 to travel $$\left(x\ \times\ t\right)\ km$$ is 45 minutes or (3/4) hours. $$\therefore\ \frac{\left(x\ \times\ t\right)}{60}\ =\ \frac{3}{4}\ $$ or $$t=\frac{180}{4x}$$....(i)

Similarly, the time taken by Car 2 to travel $$\left(60\ \times\ t\right)\ km$$ is 20 minutes or (1/3) hours. $$\therefore\ \frac{\left(60\times\ t\right)}{x}=\frac{1}{3}$$ or $$\therefore\ t=\frac{x}{180}$$....(ii)

Equating the values in (i) and (ii), and solving for x:

$$\therefore\ \frac{180}{4x}=\frac{x}{180}\ \ \longrightarrow\ \ \ x\ =90\ kmph$$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
