Three  cars A, B and C  started  from  a  point at 5  pm, 6  pm  and 7  pm respectively and travelled at uniform speeds of 60 km/hr, 80 km/hr and x km/hr respectively in the same direction. If all the three met at another point at the same instant during their journey, then what is the value of x?
         
       
      
      
      
          
      
      
          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: A) 120         
         
Explanation: Distance covered by A till 6pm = 60 km
Distance covered by A till 7 pm = 120 km
Time taken by B to catch A = 60/(80-60 ) = 3 hrs
So A and B will meet at 6pm + 3 hrs = 9pm
Since we know that all three met at the same time
The time taken by C to cover 120 km
difference will be  = 9pm –7pm = 2hrs
Therefore,(x –60 )*2 = 120x = 120 km/hr
