Two friends A and B are 30 km apart and they start simultaneously on motorcycles to meet each other. The speed of A is 3 times that of B. The distance between them decreases at the rate of 2 km per minute. Ten minutes after they start, A's vehicle breaks down and A stops and waits for B to arrive. After how much time (in minutes) A started riding, does B meet A ? |

Answer» Solution :Speed of B = V km/hr Speed of A = 3 V km/hr Given 4 V =`2 XX 60` km/hr `rArr V = 30 ` km/hr Distance covered by then after 10 min ` = 2 xx 10 = 20` km so remaining distance = (30 - 20) km = 10 km Time taken by B to cover10 km = `(10)/(30//60)=20 ` min. TOTAL time = 20 + 10 = 30 min |
