  1. A bus moving at a speed of 45 km/hr overtakes a truck 150 metres ahead going in the same direction in 30 seconds. The speed of the truck is
    1. 27 km/hr
    2. 24 km/hr
    3. 25 km/hr
    4. 28 km/hr
Correct Option: A

Let the speed of the truck be x kmph
Relative speed of the bus = (45 - x) kmph

∴   Time =
Distance
Relative speed

⇒ 
30
60 × 60

=
150
1000
(45 − x)

⇒ 
1
=
15
120100(45 − x)

⇒ 
1
=
3
⇒ (45 − x) = 18
6(45 − x)

⇒  x = 45 – 18 = 27 kmph
