Two ants are moving from their farms towards each other. Ant A is moving at a speed of 9 Cm per hour and ant B is moving at a speed of 6 Cm per hour. If the farms are 60 Cm away from each other, what will be the distance ant A travels until meeting ant B?

  1. 18.
  2. 24.
  3. 36.
  4. 42.
  5. 48.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The ants are moving towards each other, therefore adding their speeds will represent the speed that they are moving towards one another. 60 Cm / (9 + 6) = 4 hours.
The distance that ant A will travel in 4 hours is 4 x 9 = 36 Cm.



At 12:10 o’clock Bill leaves point A towards point B at a speed of 30 Km/h.
At 13:40 o’clock Richi leaves from the same point towards point B also, but at a speed of 60 Km/h. At what time will Richi passes over Bill?

  1. 14:40.
  2. 15:10.
  3. 16:10.
  4. 15:40.
  5. 15:30.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

At 13:40, Bill has already moved (30 x 1.5) 45 Km.
Their relative speed is (60 – 30) 30 Km/h; therefore, it would take (45 / 30) 1.5 hours to close the gap between the two. 13:40 + 90 minutes are 15:10.
