The distance between two places A and B is 60 km. Two cars start at the same time from A and B, travelling at the speeds of 35 km/h and 25 km/h, respectively. If the cars run in the same direction, then they will meet after ( in hours)

1. 6.5
2. 6.2
3. 6
4. 6.52

Correct Option: C

Let both cars meet at C after t hours.
∴ Distance covered by car A
= AC = 35t km
Distance covered by car B
= BC = 25t km
∴ AC – BC = AB = 60 km.
⇒ 35t – 25t = 60
⇒ 10t = 60

⇒ t =	60	= 6 hours
	10
