Step-by-step explanation:
Given A cab on its way to Bangalore overtakes an auto also going in the same direction at 11 am. The cab reaches Bangalore at 1.30 pm and starts the return journey after taking a break of 1 hour. On its way back it meets the auto at 3 pm. At what time will the auto reach Bangalore?
- A cab and an auto travel to Bangalore in the same direction at 11 am, but the cab overtakes the auto and reaches Bangalore at 1.30 pm.
- Now here from 11 am to 1.30 pm, the cab travels at a constant speed for 2 ½ hours. Now the cab starts after taking a break that is at 2.30, and meets the auto at 3 pm while returning.
- Assuming the speed of the cab to be constant that is every half an hour like 11 to 11.30 up to 1.30, the speed of the auto is 1 lap or 1 segment per hour since the auto travels 4 laps or 4 segments from 11 am to 3 pm.
- So now the auto is 1 segment away from Bangalore so it takes another one hour to reach Bangalore.
- Therefore the auto will reach at 4 p.m
