Correct Answer: 80


Solution : Here the distance between two donkeys = 400 metres.
Speed of the first donkey = 3 m/sec.
Speed of the second donkey = 2 m/sec.
If both running in opposite directions relative speed = (3 + 2) = 5 m/sec.
So, the time taken to bump into each other = $\frac{400}{5}=80$ sec.
Hence, the correct answer is 80.
