Three cars A, B and C started from a point at 5 pm, 6 pm and 7 pm respectively and travelled at uniform speeds of 60 km/hr, 80 km/hr and x km/hr respectively in the same direction. If all the three met at another point at the same instant during their journey, then what is the value of x?

Correct Answer: 120

Explanation:

Distance covered by A till 6pm = 60 km


Distance covered by A till 7 pm = 120 km


Time taken by B to catch A = 60/(80-60 ) = 3 hrs


So A and B will meet at 6pm + 3 hrs = 9pm


Since we know that all three met at the same time


The time taken by C to cover 120 km


difference will be  = 9pm –7pm = 2hrs


Therefore,(x –60 )*2 = 120x = 120 km/hr
