Two cyclists start simultaneously from points X and Y, which are 150 km apart, and head towards each other. They meet after 3 hours. If the speed of one cyclist is 25 km/h, what is the speed of the other cyclist?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Distance between the two points = 150 km
They meet after 3 hours.
Therefore, their combined speed = 150 ÷ 3
= 50 km/h
Speed of one cyclist = 25 km/h
Speed of the other cyclist = 50 - 25
= 25 km/h
