Q.

Akash leaves mumbai at 6 am and reaches Bangalore at 10 am . Prakash leaves Bangalore at 8 am and reaches Mumbai at 11:30 am. At what time do they cross each other?

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Time taken by Akash = 4 h Time taken by Prakash = 3.5 h For your convenience take the product of times taken by both as a distance. Then the distance = 14km Since, Akash covers half of the distance in 2 hours(i.e at 8 am) Now, the rest half (i.e 7 km) will be coverd by both prakash and akash Time taken by them = 7/7.5 = 56 min Thus , they will cross each other at 8 : 56am.
