Question

A and B started towards each other at the same time from places 114 km apart and met in 8 hours. If A's rate was 6 kms an hour, what was B's?

Options

  • 14.25 km/hr

  • 7 km/hr

  • `7 1/8` km/hr

  • `8 1/4` km/hr

MCQ

Solution

`8 1/4` km/hr

Explanation:

According to the question,

Distance covered by A in 8 hrs = 6 × 48 = 48 km

∴ Distance covered by B in 8 hrs = `(114 - 48)` km = 66 km

∴ Required speed = `66/8` kmph = `8 1/4` kmph.
