Correct Answer: 5:00
Solution :
Given:
A's speed = 25 km/hr
B' speed = 10 km/hr
Distance traveled by A from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. or in 2 hours
= 25 × 2 = 50 km
Remaining distance = (260 – 50) = 210 km
When two persons move toward each other, their relative speed is the sum of their speeds.
So, relative speed = 25 + 10 = 35 km/hr
Time taken by them to cover the remaining 210 km = $\frac{210}{35}$ = 6 hours
So, they will meet at 6 hours from 11 a.m. i.e. at 5 p.m.
Hence, the correct answer is 5:00.
