SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 17/02/2018 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q95

Two cars A and B travel from one city to another city, at speed of 72 km/hr and 90 km/hr respectively. If car B takes 1 hour lesser 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. 360

Distance = speed × time 

Time taken by B is 't' hours

72(t + 1) = 90t

72t + 72 = 90t

72 = 18t

t = 4 hrs

Distance = 90 × 4 = 360 km
