Correct Answer: 11 a.m
Solution : Let the bus and car meet after time t hours from 9 a.m. Total distance covered by car and bus together = Total distance between cities = 135 km Distance travelled by car moving at 25 km/hr from 8 a.m. = 25(t + 1) km Distance travelled by bus moving at 30 km/h from 9 a.m. = 30(t) km Total distance covered by car and bus together = 135 km So, 25 (t + 1) + 30(t) = 135 ⇒ 55t = 110 ⇒ t = 2 hours So, they meet after 2 hours from 9 a.m. That is, at 11 a.m. Hence, the correct answer is 11 a.m.
