Q:
K is 50% faster than L. If L starts at 9 A.M. and K starts at 10 A.M. L travels at a speed of 50 km/hr. If L and K are 300 kms apart, The time when they meet when they travel in opposite direction is ?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 12 pm
Explanation: let 't' be the time after which they met since L starts.
Given K is 50% faster than L
50 t + 1.5*50(t-1) = 300
50 t +75 t = 300 + 75
t = 375 / 125 = 3 hrs past the time that L starts
So they meet at (9 + 3)hrs = 12:00 noon.
