Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSpeed of Ravi = \(\rm 40\times \frac{10}{36}=\frac{100}{9}\) m/sec
Speed of Ashok = \(=50\times \frac{10}{36}=\frac{125}{9}\) m/sec
Time taken by Ravi and Ashok to meet is
\(=\frac{225}{\frac{100}{9}+\frac{125}{9}}=9\) sec
In 9 seconds, Ravi travels 100m. For all the three to cross, Vijay must travel 154m in 9 seconds. Hence, the required speed in km/h
\(\rm =\frac{154}{9}\times \frac{3600}{1000}=61.6\) km/hr
