Difference of time = 4.30 p.m – 11.a.m.
= 5 1 hours = 11 hours 2 2 Distance covered in 11 hrs 2 = 5 − 3 = 20 − 9 = 11 part 6 8 24 24 ∵ 11 part of the journey is covered in 11 hours 24 2 ⇒ 3 part of the journey is covered in 8 = 11 × 24 × 3 = 9 hours 2 11 8 2 = 4 1 hours. 2

Let the distance between A and B be x km, then
x − x = 36 = 3 9 10 60 5 ⇒ x = 3 90 5 ⇒ x = 3 × 90 = 54 km. 5
Second Method :
Here, S1 = 9, t1 = xS2 = 10, t2 = x − 36 60
S1t1 = S2t29 × x = 10 x − 36 60
9x = 10x – 6x = 6
Distance travelled
= 9 × 6 = 54 km
Correct Option: B
Let the distance between A and B be x km, then
x − x = 36 = 3 9 10 60 5 ⇒ x = 3 90 5 ⇒ x = 3 × 90 = 54 km. 5
Second Method :
Here, S1 = 9, t1 = xS2 = 10, t2 = x − 36 60
S1t1 = S2t29 × x = 10 x − 36 60
9x = 10x – 6x = 6
Distance travelled
= 9 × 6 = 54 km
