A bike is chasing a car, which is 12 km ahead of it. The speeds of the bike and the car are 96 km/hr and 60 km/hr, respectively. If the bike catches the car in 'a' minute, then find the distance covered by the bike in (a - 16) hours.

  1. 312 km

  2. 384 km

  3. 360 km

  4. 398 km

Answer: B

Solution

Relative speed = 96 - 60 = 36 km/hr. Catching time = 12/36 hour = 20 minutes, so a = 20. Therefore, a - 16 = 4 hours. Distance covered by the bike = 96 × 4 = 384 km.
