Correct Answer: 2 hours


Solution : Given: Two people ride towards each other from two places 55 km apart, one riding at 12 km/hr and the other at 10 km/hr.
Relative speed of the two people moving in opposite direction = (12 + 10) = 22 km/hr
Now to cover (55 – 11) = 44 km,
The time taken is = $\frac{44}{22}$ = 2 hours
Hence, the correct answer is 2 hours.
