SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 19/02/2018 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q6

Two cars A and B travel from one city to another city, at speeds of 60 km/hr and 108 km/hr, respectively. If car B takes 2 hours lesser time than car A for the journey, then what is the distance (in km) between the two cities?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 270

Let A take 't' hrs

then, B takes (t - 2) hrs

ATQ,

60t = 108(t - 2)

216 = 48t

t = 9/2 hrs

Distance between two cities = 60 × 9/2 = 270 km
