Two horses start trotting towards each other, one from A to B and another from B to A. They cross each other after one hour and the first horse reaches B, 5/6 hour before the second horse reaches A. If the distance between A and B is 50 km. what is the speed of the slower horse?

Correct Answer: 20 km/h

Explanation:

If the speed of the faster horse be  f s  and that of slower horse be  s s  then


  f s + s s = 50 1 = 50  


and        50 s s - 50 f s = 5 6


Now, you can go through options.


The speed of slower  horse is 20km/h


Since,   20+30=50


and  50 20 - 50 30 = 5 6
