- A(10:00) B(12:30)
10......10:30(a).....11:00(b)....11:30(c).....12:00(d)......12:30
We have divided 10-12:30 as 5 parts of 30 min each.
So now the time taken by anil to reach point 'd' is 4 hrs(2:30+1hr+30min) which are equivalent to 8 parts of 30 min each, By the time jagjeet has travelled only 4 parts. i.e ratio of anil and jagjeet is 2:1.
Therefore, jagjeet has to travel the final part(dp) which anil taken 30 min to travel. so answer is 1hr.
which means 2:00+1 hr= 3:00 pm - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
