Correct Answer: 4 hours
Solution : Given: Distance between Delhi and Agra = 300 km Speed of bus 1 = 38 km/h Speed of bus 2 = 37 km/h
Here, both the buses are moving toward each other.
Relative speed = 38 + 37 = 75 km/h
Therefore, the time taken by the buses to cross each other = Distance ÷ Relative speed = 300 ÷ 75 = 4 hours
Hence, first option is correct.
