- 26.25 km. from Q
- 25.50 km. from Q
- 25.30km. from P
- can't be determined
Correct Option: C
A has already gone 3.75 km when B starts of the remaining 48 km.
A walks 3.75 km and B walks 4.25 km in one hour in opposite direction i.e., they together pass over (3.75 + 4.25) = 8 km. in hour.
Therefore , 48 km. are passed over in 48/8= 6 hours.
∴ A meets B in 6 hours after B started and, therefore, they meet at a distance of (4.25 X 6 ) = 25.5km. from Q.
