Two boys begin together to write out a booklet containing 817 lines. The first boy starts with the first line, writing at the rate of 200 lines an hour and the second boy starts with the last lines then writes line 816 and so on. Backward proceeding at the rate of 150 lines an hour. At what line will they meet?
-
- 467th line
- 468th line
- 470th line
- 475th line
Correct Option: A
Writing ratio = 200 : 150 = 4 : 3
In a given time first boy will be writing the line number
| × 817 | |
| 7 |
| = | th line = 466 | th line | ||
| 7 | 7 |
or, 467 th line
Hence, both of them shall meet on 467th line.
