Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: 32 min
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:Knowing a speed ratio and one absolute speed lets us compute the other speed, then use relative speed for meeting time.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Meeting time = distance / (sum of speeds).
Step-by-Step Solution:
Sum speed = 75 + 90 = 165 km/hTime = 88 / 165 h = 0.5333… h = 32 minVerification / Alternative check:Distances: A covers 75 * 0.5333… ≈ 40 km, B covers ≈ 48 km; sum 88 km.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They correspond to incorrect speed sums or unit conversions.
Common Pitfalls:Forgetting to convert hours to minutes correctly.
Final Answer:32 min
