    Time taken in covering 999 km

    =
    999
    = 18 hours
    55.5

    ∴  Required time = 18 hours + 1 hour 20 minutes
    = 19 hours 20 minutes
    i.e. 1 : 20 am

    Correct Option: A

    Time taken in covering 999 km

    =
    999
    = 18 hours
    55.5

    ∴  Required time = 18 hours + 1 hour 20 minutes
    = 19 hours 20 minutes
    i.e. 1 : 20 am



  1. Two cars are moving with speed v1, v2 towards a crossing along two roads. If their distance from the crossing be 40 metres and 50 metres at an instant of time then they do not collide if their speed are such that

    Let time taken be equal

    i.e., 
    40
    =
    50
    ,   then
    V1 V2

    they will collide i.e. cars will reach at the same time.
    ∴  
    V1
    40
    =
    4

    A’s speed =
    1000
    = 200 m/minute
    5

    B’s speed =
    1000
    = 125 m/minute
    8

    C’s speed =
    1000
    = 100 m/minute
    10

    Distance covered by C in 2 minutes = 200 metre
    Distance covered by B in 1 minute = 125 metre
    Relative speed of A with respect to C = 100 metre
    ∴  Time =
    200
    = 2 minutes
    100

    Relative speed of A with respect ot B = 75 metre
    ∴  Time =

    Distance covered by C in 2 minutes = 200 metre
    Distance covered by B in 1 minute = 125 metre
    Relative speed of A with respect to C = 100 metre
    ∴  Time =
