SSC CGL - 10 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q54

In a circular race of 750 m, X and Y start from the same point and at the same time with speeds of 9 km/h and 13.5 km/h, respectively. If they are running in the same direction, when will they meet again for the first time on the track?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 600 seconds.

Time = Distance/Relative speed

Relative speed in same direction = S1 - S2

Time = 750(13.5−9)×518\frac{750}{(13.5-9)\times\frac{5}{18}} = 750/1.25 = 600 seconds
