SSC Selection Post - Matriculation Level - 20 June 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q57

In a circular path of 619 m, Preeti and Rani start walking in opposite directions from the same point at the speeds of 2.85 km/h and 5.4 km/h, respectively. When will they meet for the first time?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. After 4.50 minutes.

Relative speed = 2.85 + 5.4 = 8.25 km/hr

⇒ 8.25 × 5185\over18 = 2.29 m/sec

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 6192.29619\over2.29 = 270.30 ∼ 270 seconds = 4.50 minutes
