Ali and Faizer are 27m apart. They both start walking and meet 9 hrs later, if they travel in the same direction and meet after 3 hrs if they walk in opposite dirction, Ali’s speed must most likely be ?

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

let, speed of Ali=X mph and Faizer=Y mph Now, relative speed when Ali is walking int the same direction with Faizer= (X-Y)mph hence, according to question, 27/(X-Y)=9 ; solving X-Y=3; --- (1) Now relative speed when walking in the opposite direction= (X+Y) mph hence, according to question, 27/(X+y)=3; solving X+Y=9; --- (2) solving 1 and 2 we get X=6 and Y=3, where X is the speed of Ali.
