A) 138 to 164 B) 125 to 147
C) 148 to 158 D) 152 to 164
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 152 to 164

Explanation:

A+7B=112

it is clear that A = 14, then it becomes A>=B, but A is smallest angle) given
so, range of A is 0.0001 to 13.9999 ( I am taking upto 4 decimal places)
so, range of B becomes 14 to 16 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)
so, range of C becomes 152 to 164 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)

Q:

Two stations A and B are 200 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?

A) 12 a.m. B) 1 p.m.
C) 11 a.m. D) 12 p.m.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 12 p.m.

Explanation:

Assume both trains meet after 'p' hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by train starting from A in 'p' hours = 20p km
Distance covered by train starting from B in (p-1) hours = 25(p-1)
Total distance = 200
=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 200
=> 45x = 225
=> p= 5
Means, they meet after 5 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 12 p.m.
