Q.

Two horses start trotting towards each other, one from A to B and another from B to A. They cross each other after one hour and the first horse reaches B, 5/6 hour before the second horse reaches A. If the distance between A and B is 50 km. what is the speed of the slower horse?

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

If the speed of the faster horse be fs and that of slower horse be ss then fs+ss=50/1=50 and 50/ss−50/fs=5/6 Now, you can go through options. The speed of slower horse is 20km/h Since, 20+30=50 and 50/20−50/30=5/6
