A non stop bus to Amritsar overtakes an auto also moving towards Amritsar at 10 am. The bus reaches Amritsar at 12.30 pm and starts on the return journey after 1 hr. On the way back it meets the auto at 2 pm. At what time the auto will reach Amritsar?

• Bus and auto meet at 10 a.m., & bus reached Amritstar at 12.30pm, now again the bus started return journey at 1.30pm, & again meet auto at 2pm, that means bus is now half hour back from amritsar i.e the place that bus had reached at 12 pm in previous journey. Auto is now(2pm) that place where the bus was at 12pm. All this conclude that Auto will take 4 hours (10am to 2pm) to travel same distance for which bus requires 2 hours(10 am to 12 pm). That means to travel more half hour distance of bus, auto will require 1 hour. Thus the final auto will reach at 3 pm. to Amritstar
  ans: 3pm

• Bus and Auto meet at 10.00am, Bus reached Amritsar 12.30pm means 2 1/2 hrs journey then 1 hr rest and after 1/2 hrs Bus meet Auto at 2.00pm means Auto has taken 2 1/2 + 1 + 1/2 = 4 hrs to
  complete Bus's 2 hrs journey, it means Bus's 1/2 hr journey Amritsar to meeting point Auto going to
  complete in 1 hrs which means Auto going to reach Amritsar at 3.00pm
