Correct Answer: 6:00 AM


Solution : Distance between A and B = 220 km
A started at 11:00 AM at a speed of 40 km/hr.
Distance covered by A at 12:00 PM = 40 × 1 = 40 km
Remaining distance = 220 – 40 = 180
Their relative speed = 40 – 30 = 10 km/hr
Time $=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}= \frac{180}{10}=18$ hours
Thus, they will meet at 12:00 PM + 18 hours = 6:00 AM next day
Hence, the correct answer is 6:00 AM.
