Correct answer: B. 8
Explanation
When they meet, B has covered 60 + 12 = 72 km and A has covered 60 − 12 = 48 km in the same time. Let A's speed be v: 48/v = 72/(v + 4) ⇒ 48v + 192 = 72v ⇒ v = 8 km/hr.मिलने तक B ने 60 + 12 = 72 किमी और A ने 60 − 12 = 48 किमी समान समय में तय किए। माना A की गति v है: 48/v = 72/(v + 4) ⇒ 48v + 192 = 72v ⇒ v = 8 किमी/घंटा।More Mathematical Reasoning and Aptitude questions
