Correct Answer: 60 km
Solution : The distance of A and B = 105 km Let's assume that they meet at point C, and CB = $x$ Then AC = $(105 - x)$ Speed of Daya = 25 km/hr Speed of Menu = 10 km/hr Distance covered by Daya = $(105 + x)$ km Menu covers $(105 - x)$ km Since, Time = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ So, $\frac{105+x}{ 25}=\frac{105-x}{ 10}$ ⇒ $1050 + 10x = 2625 - 25x$ ⇒ $35x = 1575$ ⇒ $x = 45$ So, distance from point A to point C = (105 - 45) = 60 km Hence, the correct answer is 60 km.
