The speeds of John and Max are 30 km/h and 40 km/h respectively. Initially, Max is at aplace L and John is at a place M. The distance between L and M is 650 km. John started his journey 3 hours earlier than Max to meet each other. If they meet each other at a place P Some where between L and M, then the distance between P and M is
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Max 40 km/h John 30 km /h
Distance travelled by john in 3 hours
= 30 x 3 = 90 km
Reaminaing distance = 650 - 90 = 560 km
Time taken by Max and john to meet at point P
= \( \Large \frac{560}{(40 + 30)} \) = \( \Large \frac{560}{70} \) = 8 hours
Time time taken by john to reach at point P= 8 + 3 = 11 hours
Distance travelled by John in 11 hours
= 11 x 30 = 330 km
