  • Question
  • A goods truck travels from a place at a certain time and at fixed speed. After 6hrs another truck leaves the same place and move in same direction of uniform speed of 90kmph. The truck catches up the goods truck in 4hrs. Find the speed of the goods truck ?


  • Options
  • A. 36 kmph
  • B. 32 kmph
  • C. 28 kmph
  • D. 34 kmph

  • Correct Answer
  • 36 kmph 

    Explanation

    Let the speed of goods truck be 'p' kmph
    Distance covered by goods truck in 10hrs (4+6) = Distance covered by other truck in 4 hrs.
    10p = 4 x 90
    p = 36kmph.
    Therefore, the speed of the goods truck is p = 36 kmph.
