Answer:
The correct option is D.
Explanation:
Both, Arup and Swarup leave at 8 AM.
Arup walks 2 km at the speed of 4 km/hr. He takes 30 minutes walking and then 30 minutes boating. He starts his car at 9:00 AM at the speed of 50 km/hr.
Swarup walks 2 km at the speed of 5 km/hr. He takes 24 minutes walking and then 30 minutes boating. He starts his car ar 8:54 AM at the speed of 40 km/hr.
When Arup and Swarup meets, distance traveled by them will be same. Time taken by Swarup will be 6 minutes more.
50 × t = 40 × (t+6)
5t = 4t + 24
t = 24 minutes
They will meet at 9:24 AM.
