Aman and Chirag decided to meet each other at point B. Aman started to point at 11:00 a.m. and at the same time Chirag started from point C. They move towards each other to meet at point B. Chirag take 1 hour more to reach point B relative to Aman. Speed of Chirag is 20% more than speed of Aman and distance covered by Aman `33(1)/(3)%` less than distance covered by Chirag.
At what time Chirag will reach at point B?

A

`2:30` P.M.

B

`3:00` P.M.

C

`3:30` P.M.

D

`4:00` P.M.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's define the variables and relationships based on the information given: 1. **Define Variables**: - Let the speed of Aman be \( S_A \). - Since Chirag's speed is 20% more than Aman's, we can express Chirag's speed as: \[ S_C = S_A + 0.2 S_A = 1.2 S_A \] 2. **Define Distances**: - Let the distance covered by Chirag be \( D_C \). - According to the problem, the distance covered by Aman is \( 33 \frac{1}{3} \% \) less than that covered by Chirag. This can be expressed as: \[ D_A = D_C - \frac{1}{3} D_C = \frac{2}{3} D_C \] 3. **Time Relationship**: - Let the time taken by Aman to reach point B be \( T_A \). - Since Chirag takes 1 hour more than Aman to reach point B, we have: \[ T_C = T_A + 1 \] 4. **Using the formula for time**: - Time is calculated as distance divided by speed. Therefore, we can express the times for Aman and Chirag as: \[ T_A = \frac{D_A}{S_A} \quad \text{and} \quad T_C = \frac{D_C}{S_C} \] 5. **Substituting the distances and speeds**: - For Aman: \[ T_A = \frac{\frac{2}{3} D_C}{S_A} \] - For Chirag: \[ T_C = \frac{D_C}{1.2 S_A} \] 6. **Setting up the equation**: - Since \( T_C = T_A + 1 \), we can substitute the expressions for \( T_A \) and \( T_C \): \[ \frac{D_C}{1.2 S_A} = \frac{\frac{2}{3} D_C}{S_A} + 1 \] 7. **Eliminating \( D_C \) and \( S_A \)**: - We can cancel \( D_C \) from both sides (assuming \( D_C \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{1}{1.2 S_A} = \frac{2/3}{S_A} + \frac{1}{D_C} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{1}{1.2} = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{S_A}{D_C} \] - Solving for \( \frac{S_A}{D_C} \) gives: \[ \frac{S_A}{D_C} = \frac{1}{1.2} - \frac{2}{3} \] 8. **Finding a common denominator**: - The common denominator for \( 1.2 \) and \( 3 \) is \( 6 \): \[ \frac{1}{1.2} = \frac{5}{6} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6} \] - Thus: \[ \frac{S_A}{D_C} = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \] 9. **Finding the time taken by Aman**: - Now, we can express \( D_C \) in terms of \( S_A \): \[ D_C = 6 S_A \] - Substituting back to find \( T_A \): \[ T_A = \frac{\frac{2}{3} (6 S_A)}{S_A} = 4 \text{ hours} \] 10. **Finding Chirag's time**: - Since Chirag takes 1 hour more than Aman: \[ T_C = T_A + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 \text{ hours} \] 11. **Final Time Calculation**: - Aman starts at 11:00 AM, so: \[ \text{Chirag will reach point B at } 11:00 \text{ AM} + 5 \text{ hours} = 4:00 \text{ PM} \] ### Final Answer: Chirag will reach point B at **4:00 PM**.
