Correct option is A
Question:
Ayush and Ranjan are 20 km apart and walk towards each other. When will they meet?
Checking statements:
Statement (I):
Ayush walks at 2 km/hr and Ranjan at 3 km/hr.
Combined speed = 2 + 3 = 5 km/hr
Time = 20 ÷ 5 = 4 hours
Ayush walks at 2 km/hr and Ranjan at 3 km/hr.
Combined speed = 2 + 3 = 5 km/hr
Time = 20 ÷ 5 = 4 hours
So, statement (I) alone is sufficient.
Statement (II):
Speed ratio of Ayush to Ranjan is 2 : 3.
Actual speeds are not known, so time cannot be calculated.
Speed ratio of Ayush to Ranjan is 2 : 3.
Actual speeds are not known, so time cannot be calculated.
So, statement (II) alone is not sufficient.
The statement (I) alone is sufficient to answer the question while the statement (II) alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Thus, correct option is (a).
