Two buses start from the same station at 9.00am and travel in opposite directions along the same straight road. The first bus travel at a speed of 72 km/h and the second at 48 km/h. At what time will they be 240km apart?
1:00 pm
12:00 noon
11:00 am
10:00 am
Correct answer is C
Let x be the time
Then 72x + 48x = 240
\(\frac{120}{120} \times \frac{240}{120}\)
x = 2hrs
9:00 + 2hrs = 11:00 am
