Two friends X and Y start running towards each other at the same time from points A and B respectively and meet after 135 minutes. At what speed is X running ?
I. Point B is 45 km away from point A and speed of X is `150%` of the speed of Y.
II. Distance covered by Y was 18 km.

A

if the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer to question.

B

if the data in statement Ii alone are sufficient to answer the questin, while the data in statemetn I alone are not suffcient to answer the question.

C

if data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

D

if the data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the speed of friend X based on the information provided in the two statements. Let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two friends, X and Y, running towards each other from points A and B respectively, and they meet after 135 minutes. We need to find the speed of X. ### Step 2: Convert Time First, we convert the time from minutes to hours: - 135 minutes = 135/60 = 2.25 hours (or 2 hours and 15 minutes). ### Step 3: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** Point B is 45 km away from point A and the speed of X is 150% of the speed of Y. Let the speed of Y be \( v_Y \) km/h. Then the speed of X is: \[ v_X = 1.5 \times v_Y \] The total distance covered by both X and Y when they meet is 45 km. The time taken to meet is 2.25 hours. Using the formula for distance: \[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \] The combined distance covered by both X and Y is: \[ v_X \times 2.25 + v_Y \times 2.25 = 45 \] Substituting \( v_X \): \[ (1.5 v_Y) \times 2.25 + v_Y \times 2.25 = 45 \] Factoring out \( 2.25 \): \[ 2.25 (1.5 v_Y + v_Y) = 45 \] \[ 2.25 (2.5 v_Y) = 45 \] Dividing both sides by 2.25: \[ 2.5 v_Y = \frac{45}{2.25} \] \[ 2.5 v_Y = 20 \] \[ v_Y = \frac{20}{2.5} = 8 \text{ km/h} \] Now, we can find the speed of X: \[ v_X = 1.5 \times 8 = 12 \text{ km/h} \] ### Step 4: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** Distance covered by Y was 18 km. From this statement alone, we know the distance covered by Y, but we do not have information about the speed of Y or the time taken. Therefore, we cannot determine the speed of X from this statement alone. ### Conclusion From Statement I, we were able to determine the speed of X as 12 km/h. However, Statement II does not provide sufficient information to find the speed of X. Thus, the answer is that **only Statement I is sufficient** to answer the question, while Statement II is not. ### Final Answer The speed of X is **12 km/h**. Only Statement I is sufficient. ---
