The distance between two stations is 100 KM. 2 cars start from A and B stations at the same time with speeds 48 KM/H and 64 KM/H and returned to the initial station. The time gap between their two meetings will be

OPtion

1) 20/7 Hours
2) 25/22
3) 25/8
4) 25/14
5) 200/7
6) 100/7
7) 24/5
8) 25/18
9) 20/3
10) NONE OF THESE

Solution

Total distance covered between their meetings is 200 KM combined
total combined speed = 64+48 = 112
Time take to cover 200KM with 112 KM/H speed is
200/112
=25/ 14 Hour

Correct Option: 4 Best Solution (2)

Two cars will meet first when they together travel 100 kms after time 100/(48+64) = 100/112 hrs

Two cars will meet second time when they together travel 300 kms after time 300/(48+64) = 300/112 hrs

Difference in two timings = 300/112 - 100/112= 200/112 = 25/14 hrs ... option 4
