The taxis move at the same constant speed and go from `X` and `Y` or vice-versa in `2 h`, How many taxis coming from the other side will meet each taxi enroute from `Y` and `X`?.A. (a) ` 11`B. (b) `12`C. (c ) ` 23`D. (d) `24` |
Answer» Correct Answer - C No. of taxies leaving a station (A) in (2) hours ` = 2 xx 60 /10 = 12 `. Therefore a taxi standing at a location (B), will encounier ` 12 1 taxies in `2` hours. If taxi leaves station (B) and moves towards (A) will be meeting (11) more taxies enroute and it will be meeting the twelfth taxi at the location of (a) which is just going to start.
