Two cars X and Y start from two places A and B respectively which are 800 km apart at 8 a.m. Both the cars run at an average speed of 50 km/hr towards each other. Car X stops at 9 a.m. and again starts at 10 a.m. While the other car Y continues to run without stopping. When do the two cars cross each other? Correct Answer 4 : 30 pm

Till 10 a.m. Distance Covered by X = 50 km and

Till 10 a.m. Distance Covered by Y = 100 km

Remaining distance to be covered at 10 a.m. = 800 – 150 = 650 km

Relative speed of X and Y = 100 Km / hr

∴ Time taken = 650/100 = 13/2hrs.= 6 hrs. 30 min.

∴ Two cars will cross each other at 4 : 30 p.m.

The question below is followed by three statements I, II, and III. You have to determine whether the data given is sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose the best possible answer. A car travels from city P to city Q in T hours with a speed of v km per hour. Distance between cities P and Q is D kilometers. If it increases its speed by 5 kmph it saves some time. Find the actual speed of the car. Statement I: If the car travels from P to Q with its actual speed of v kmph and come back with the speed of v + 5 kmph in 2T – 0.6 hrs Statement II: A bus start form Q at the same time when the car starts from P and the speed of the bus is 50% more than the speed of the car and the bus meets car after covering 60% of the distance Statement III: Distance between PQ is given by D2 – 25D + 200 = 0
