Q:

Buses start from a bus terminal with a speed of 20 km/hr at intervals of 10 minutes. What is the speed of a man coming from the opposite direction towards the bus terminal if he meets the buses at intervals of 8 minutes?

A) 5 kmph B) 6 kmph
C) 7.5 kmph D) 8 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5 kmph

Explanation:

Let p be the speed of man in kmph

According to the given data in the question,

Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction

=> 20 x 10/60 = 8/60 (20 + p)

=> 200 = 160 + 8p

=> p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.
