    Question

    Sudha and Kavitha start moving on a bicycle towards each other at 5 am with the speeds of 14 kmph and 16 kmph respectively. They were 45 km apart at the starting point for both. At what time would they meet?

    A.

    6.30pm

    B.

    7.30 am

    C.

    6.30 am

    D.

    7.30pm

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Starting Time = 5:00 am
    Speed of Sudha = 14 km/h
    Speed of Kavitha = 16 km/h
    Initial distance apart = 45 km
    Formula Used:
    Time = DistanceRelative Speed\frac{Distance}{Relative\ Speed}​ (when moving towards each other, add speeds).
    Solution:
    Calculate the relative speed:
    Relative Speed = 14 + 16 = 30 km/h
    Calculate the time taken to meet:
    Time = 4530 \frac{45}{30}​ = 1.5 hours
    1.5 hours is equal to 1 hour and 30 minutes.
    Add this time to the starting time:
    5:00 am + 1 hour 30 minutes = 6:30 am
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (c)
