Answer : 1. "10 sec"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 10 sec Explanation: Relative Speed = 60 -40 = 20 x 5/18 = 100/18 Time = 50 Distance = 50 x 100/18 = 2500/9 Relative Speed = 60 + 40 = 100 x 5/18 Time = 2500/9 x 18/500 = 10 sec.
Q: P is faster than Q. P and Q each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then, P's speed is equal to ? 3840 05b5cc6dfe4d2b4197774eab7

Answer : 2. "4 km/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 4 km/hr Explanation: Let P's speed = x km/hr. Then, Q's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr. So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14 x2 - 98x + 168 = 0 (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4. Since, P is faster than Q, so P's speed = 4 km/hr and Q's speed = 3 km/hr.
