Correct Answer: 9
Solution : Distance travelled by A = Speed × Time So, Distance = 15 × 6 = 90 km Relative speed of B to A = Speed of B – Speed of A Relative speed = (25 – 15) km/hr = 10 km/hr Time taken by B to catch A = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Relative speed}}$ = $\frac{90}{10}$ = 9 hours Hence, the correct answer is 9.
