A circular running path is 1452 m in circumference. Two men start from the same point and walk in opposite directions at speeds of 7.5 km/h and 9 km/h, respectively. When will they meet for the first time?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 5.28 min.

Relative speed of two men = 7.5 + 9 = 16.5 km/h

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ 1452 = 16.5×51816.5 \times {5 \over 18} × Time

⇒ Time = 316.8 sec

⇒ Time taken by them to meet each other =316.860316.8 \over 60 = 5.28 min
