Directions (50-52): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. P, Q and R started their journey at 8 am, 9 am & 10 am respectively and the ratio of speed of P, Q & R is x : 1.25x : 0.5x respectively. After four hours Q meets P and after meeting each other both of them started returning towards initial position. At what time Q will meet R?
- 2 pm
- 3 pm
- 1:20 pm
- 3:40 pm
Correct answer: 3 pm
Solution
Q meets P at 1 pm, so by then Q has covered 5x distance and R has covered only 3x/2. Since Q turns back while R is still moving forward, they close the gap at a combined rate of 1.25x + 0.5x, which makes the meeting time 3 pm.
