In a circular race of 4225 m, X and Y start from the same point and at the same time at speeds of 54 km/h and 63 km/h. When will they meet again for the first time on the track when they are running in the opposite direction?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 130 seconds.

Relative Speed = 54 km/h + 63 km/h = 117 km/h

Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 4225117×518\frac{4225}{117\times\frac{5}{18}} = 130 seconds

They will meet again for the first time on the track in 130 seconds.
